About
I am a sculptor and multi-media artist based in Renton, Washington. I studied studio art at Kapiolani Community College and the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, and through more than a decade of apprenticeship and collaboration with installation and concept artist Kaili Chun.
My personal practice is based primarily in abstract wooden forms, using data and mathematics as the foundation structures to explore anthropological spaces. Though my primary medium is wood, I have experience in ceramics, welding, painting and drawing, and digital media within the Adobe suite of tools and in 3D via Sketchup.
