In my work, surface, form, texture and color come together to create emotional statements.  I use a pure colorist approach and linear perspective design.  I paint in a variety of forms from stylized representational paintings to abstractions and hybrids.  I challenge myself to achieve a total configuration where all the parts support the whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I come from Kobe, Japan, where I was a professional musician.  After I moved to Seattle in 1986, my passion for fine art flourished.  I began painting and studied portraiture, landscapes, color and composition.  Currently I paint imaginary landscapes as well as abstractions.  I often paint from current events in the world as an inspiration.  But I paint in abstract form rather than a journalistic way.  My landscapes are personal “mindscapes,” inspired by local hikes in the mountains surrounding Seattle and my everyday experiences here in Seattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My aim is for my finished paintings to look as fresh as possible, as if they had been done quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goals are to give my viewers a feeling of enchantment and wonderment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
