I am grateful and joyful to be a Californian by birth, a 4th generation Japanese-American (Yonsei) by my Mother, and a 2nd generation Polish-Jewish-American by my Father.
Corresponding to my eclectic ancestry and my life in the rural desert and by the urban sea, my work is an amalgamation and a tribute to various and wondrous artistic disciplines, cultural traditions, aesthetic styles, natural elements, and historical eras, some of which have yet to occur.
Though I work in a variety of media, ceramics is my favorite mode of expression because of its instinctual, primal, and therapeutic qualities.
Aside from making, I also love teaching others about the magic and mystery of clay.
