- Biographical Information
- Lovely Oregon coast! I created Ocean Mist from my sketches on my trip to the coast. The ocean makes me feel strong and gives me a wide open mind, and the repeating of waves tells me the cycles of our lives. For The Fish I tried to create my image of flowing water using the Yuzen paper collages with Kimono patterns. It gave me a great pleasure to depict the modern day image with the ancient fine art technique called Paper Cut (Kiri-e in Japanese). (Sogabe, 1995).
