BIO

Kameko is an artist, founder, and CEO whose life’s work bridges creativity, business, and service. With a degree in Business Management, an MFA in Visual Fine Arts, and a Doctorate of Divinity awarded for service to the community, Kameko embodies the belief that art is not only an expression—but a calling.

Her creative career spans fine art, education, and entrepreneurship. She is the visionary behind online art courses designed for preschoolers, thoughtfully created to nurture imagination, confidence, and early creative development. She is also the author of an e-book for creative people, offering inspiration and practical guidance for artists seeking to live boldly and authentically.

Kameko is currently in the process of creating her most luxurious oil paint art collection, developed with intention, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the artistic process—designed to elevate both the experience and outcome of fine art creation.

At the heart of her work is an unwavering passion for children and community care. In 2022, she founded a non-profit organization in her name, dedicated to reaching and supporting children vulnerable to human trafficking. This mission reflects her lifelong commitment to protection, empowerment, and hope for the most vulnerable.

Her name, Kameko, holds profound meaning—translated from Japanese as “tortoise child” and “God’s Child,” symbolizing wisdom, resilience, divine purpose, and endurance. These values are woven throughout her creative, educational, and humanitarian endeavors.

Kameko is also the host of the weekly podcast Dr. Kameko Speaks, available on Spotify and YouTube, where she empowers and encourages listeners to live their best life through faith, creativity, mindset, and purpose-driven conversations.

Through art, education, leadership, and service, Kameko continues to inspire others to create with intention, lead with compassion, and live with courage.

Kameko currently resides in the suburbs of Los Angeles, in the sunny State of California.
