AJ Oishi (b. 1971) is a self-taught painter known for her unique abstract pointillist style. A Seattle native, her background in precision-driven professional roles informs her meticulous painting technique, blending analytical control with an innate sense of color. Using the eraser end of a #2 pencil, she applies thousands of carefully placed dots to create balanced, vibrant compositions that evoke introspection and mindfulness.
Her circular patterns, crafted through deliberate repetition and color layering, offer a meditative visual experience, inviting the viewer into a space of calm and focus. Oishi has exhibited in major cities across North America, including San Francisco, New York, Miami, and Vancouver, and her work is held in both private and corporate collections.
