Bio
My creative focus is on sharing stories of my island home, Hawai'i, and the way that growing up at the crossroads of the two prevalent cultures I grew up in, Japanese & Hawaiian, influences the way I live my life and shapes my world view.

Forgiveness
The road stretches out before us, its black and slick asphalt surface baking in the Kona heat. The highway divides the lava fields from the ropey kind known as pāhoehoe on one side and the uneven ‘a‘ā rock on the other. It’s all aged by the sun and air through the passing of time and the appearance of the gaping hole of a lava tube is both menacing and surprising. The sweeping openness of the landscape can seem foreign to most city dwellers, myself included. Yet, taking it all in within thirty minutes of landing in my hometown feels like comfort slipping over me like a buttery, soft garment. I long to wear it all day, every day.
