Profile
Taking as motifs the gods and divine beasts found throughout Japan and Asia, I visualize unseen beings and energies from my own perspective. The invisible presences and mystical powers I depict are rooted in nature worship (animism) and in Asian mythology and thought.
As culture has developed since the age when people lived alongside the unseen, such presences have faded from awareness. That is precisely why I hope, through art, to make them feel close at hand.
