Liane Wakabayashi is a Haifa-based artist who has painted and drawn for nearly thirty years. She is the founder of Genesis Art Workshops, which started in the bohemian cafes of Tokyo while she was a journalist writing for the Japan Times, pregnant with her first child.  Influenced by Japan’s beloved intuitive artist, the late Sachiko Adachi, whose last lecture she edited for publication in English, Liane continues in Sachiko’s tradition to initiate artists to “freeing the mind for true self-expression.”
