I love to tell stories through my art.  Here I tell the story of the tidal wave that hit the shore of Fukashima, Japan.  It is inspired by the book "The Big Wave" by Pearl Buck.

I love triangles, circles, and squares.  These are known as the sacred geometry.  I use these shapes to tell the story of "Sleeping Beauty".  "Once upon a time there was a princess who lived in a castle with 3 nice fairies and a mean fairy.  One day the mean fairy put a curse on her and she was destined to sleep forever until a prince came and kissed her and they lived happily ever after."
