About me...
I grew up in Shizuoka City, Japan. It felt like Mt. Fuji was in my backyard and followed me anywhere I went. The mountain is always beautiful, but never the same. It shows different faces throughout the day and the passing of the seasons..
I studied fundamental art and graphic design when I was a student in Japan. I have been influenced by and drawn to Japanese art and its culture. I especially admire the historical watercolors, woodblock prints, and fabric designs. These types of artwork are based on everyday life and natural surroundings, always humble and elegant.
