BED, 1970 University of Hawaii

MED, 1972 University of Hawaii

I was born and raised in Hawaii. I graduated from Waipahu High School in 1965, attended University of Hawaii at Manoa, earning a (MED), Masters in Art Education.

I consider myself an art educator/art maker. I was most attracted to ceramics and created large vessels that were glazed with multiple techniques and raku fired. My most notable project is two large tile murals in the Kahului Airport terminal.

I then changed my focus in 1995 to acrylic painting. My images are varied and multiple to call attention to environmental issues and exploration of culture and personal interests. I have been fortunate to exhibit in Art Maui, Honolulu Museum of Art, Contemporary Art Museum, Koa Gallery, Hui No‘eau, and the Hawaii State Foundation Museum.
