Bio...
I have had a love affair with calligraphy since 1977,
studying with some of the best teachers in the world.
Following completion of a certificate program in graphic
art and design, I started a freelance calligraphy and
design business, and have worked as a calligrapher for
the County of Los Angeles. I have exhibited in the Brand
Library, the Los Angeles Folk Art Museum and
nationwide.
My teaching career began at Brandes Art Institute in 1983
and I have taught ongoing classes and workshops locally
for the Los Angeles Society for Calligraphy, Hughes
Aircraft, RAND Corporation, Viva Gallery, and nationally
at calligraphy conferences and for guilds across the
country.
I am also President of the Society for Calligraphy of Los
Angeles, where I have found much satisfaction and some of
my best friends. We have visiting lecturers and teachers
from all over the world. Please visit our website
www.societyforcalligraphy.org.
I thought I had it good when I found calligraphy, but I
found my true passion when I saw the light go on in a
student's eyes. I receive continuing support and
confidence from my loving husband, Hideo and wonderful
son, Christopher. Life is good.
