Aloha, I work with paper, textiles, and wood, painting, stitching and carving. My work is influenced by years of painting with ink, in the Japanese Sumie style. I have lived on Hawai`i island on the slope of Mauna Loa since 1973.

I work as a Teaching Artists of Hawai'i,with high school and elementary level students bringing hands on experiences of creating art as individuals and collaboratively.
