Q: What is medium of art you deal with?

Photography

Q: When did you start becoming dedicated to your means of artistic expression? What was the trigger?

I started photography when I got my first Canon manual camera with 50mm in Santa Cruz, which was for my first B&W photography class at college.

I couldn't wait to go to the dark room almost everyday from the lab opening time till closing.

Also, I started to think about photography not only as art but also the life style since I met a still life photographer in Japan.

Q: What / Where do you get your inspirations from?

I get inspirations from Artists, fashion, art, dance, things like sweets or paper items from artisan people.

Q: What made you join this SIR exhibition?

I have been looking for the place to show my photography. 

Q: Tell us a little bit about your vision of your art work at the show"WATER." 　　How do you interpret the theme "WATER" as one of the Four Elements of the nature?

The next theme "Water" is very creative theme to me.

Water is very important for my everyday life. Also water has interesting texture, and can be interpreted in many ways.

I hope that I can project "Water" through my photography.

 

Q: Do you love Japan?

I do. I would like to know more about Japanese Culture including art, kimono, food and much more.

 

Q: Do you have any message to the audience ..

Please visit the show!!!
