| About the Artist |
In my work I bring together old and new icons and images from American and Japanese culture. These combination of images represent the history of two cultures as well as my personal throughts about the world I am experienceing.
As the modrn artist I begin my work by computer manipulation, collaging, and the printing of images. I then return to the formal art techniques of painting and gold leafing to complete my work. |
