About Me:
About me:
I am an artist living in Japan. ^_^y From my home studio,
I work full-time as fantasy illustrator and sculptor.
Scampering around that studio is a miniture pinscher-- Ricky.
A big lumpy orange cat- Goodah <-say it like buddah only way jolly.
A porch stray (he only comes to be fed) Blackie.
And a turtle named Kametta.
Somewhere around the house is my heart and amazing husband Kohei.
* Our new baby girl named Mila *
At USA house: Cornish Rex Cat- Mr Mustachio. his lady friend, a siamese girl named Pearly.
And my daughter Rae, who is finishing her schooling in the states.
Rae is my little "celebrifairy" and has been so lucky to be a model for some other fantastic artists such as, Gary Zahradka," Captivating"
and Jane Starr Weils, "Listening to the Trees".
Anyways...about my work:
Having grown up in Pennsylvania, I have a wonderful sentiment towards the many festivals, galleries, and Ren Faires that are in or neighbor my home state.
Liek I said, daily life is crazy ordinary. It is with all my efforts I strive to capture the magic those places and people have instilled in me. I really try to maintain a relationship with my "old haunts" and schedule my usa visits to accomodate my gathering of inspirations and a show schedule there.
My one of a kind dolls and fantasy sculptures first gained popularity in 2002- after a my nomination in the "Dolls Award of Excellence" competition. They have since been collected by customers around the world.
Resin "Feral Faeries" figurines, can also be seen in the popular catalog, "The Pyramid Collection". My work such as Fantasy Prints, Key Chains,Stationary and many other wonderful items are available through gift shops across the country.
I am very proud of the consistant interest and positive support about my work, from so many customers all around the globe.
It is my greatest honor that my work finds a place in your heart and homes.
Music:
Well... I like many kinds. depends on mood. But mostly Trance(ravey music) when creating, anything with words just clutters my brain and i cannot concentrate. I'm all over the place with music. I have no good explaination for it! =)
Movies:
Again, Depends on my mood. I dont favor any particular genre. Example: Idle Hands/ An Everlasting Piece/ Count of Monty Cristo. See makes no sense.
TV:
cooking shows, gardening shows, weather channel.
Books:
illustrative novels and childrens books.
Likes:
cats, bats, halloween trinkets, old bottles, antique books, dolls, and sparkly things =D Ahahaha really, I can be bought with chocolates.
Dislikes:
Mean people/ people that impress themself... I just want to throw water on them and see if they vanish into smoke and monkeys celebrate. Everything else I can pretty much handle.
Hobbies:
ancient civilizations<- travel to old places, lampworking, gardening, poi, goofball stuff, making cute things for new baby!
Vices:
chocolate, mister doughnut, handmade jewelry, stainedglass, paints,ribbons, tarot decks. And I am lazy to use capital letters =P
Virtues:
Ah virtue; depends on who you talk to. I am honest, ie; even if the truth hurts. i say it. sorry. That tends to work in my best interest -occasinally works against me. Honesty does not always mean that things dont get mussed up. My intentions are always for the best.
Heroes:
Many many many.
