I paint to understand what it means to occupy a body in space. My work is an autobiographical journey.  Although I paint people, my work is not only of individuals. I look at the weight of a sitter’s presence in intimate discourse with the setting or enviornment, and seek to capture the experience of the self as viewed and interpreted, and the self as viewer and observer.


Born in Nagoya
