Glimpse

Watch the video below by creative director Curt Pliler to experience my artistic process and my studio, Jakuan (Arbor of Tranquility), on beautiful remote Orcas Island in the Pacific Northwest.

My time in Kyoto, Japan, studying Garden Design and tea ceremony at Shoseian in Seattle, Washington, and my ongoing study of Buddhism show up as influences and inspiration for my artist-made paper and my encaustic paper sculptures. I think, too, one can see how place and the four elements deeply influence my work.
