FEATURED ARTISTS
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.
I was born to a Vietnamese mother and a Korean father and was later adopted by my all-American stepdad. Our family left Vietnam a few months before the fall of Saigon. As a youngster, I had the privilege of living in several different states in the U.S., as well as in other countries including Iran and Saudi Arabia, before we finally settled down in the Puget Sound area where, as an adult, I went on to study painting at the University of Washington.
Some of the subjects I keep returning to are:
- Technology and its world impact
- Making art from typically discarded things
- DIY culture
