Not having any other siblings, my childhood was very lonely. My dolls kept me company and helped form my future artistic ideas and images. I attended the Nakahara Elementary School, Chofu Private High School for Girls, and Jesen Junior College. After World War II, I began working for the Quarter Master Company in Shinagawa, Japan. There I met my husband and got married on St. Patrick’s Day in 1952. As a U.S. war bride, I came to Benton Harbor, Michigan, in autumn of 1952, where I made history as the town’s first war bride.
While a spouse of a U.S. soldier until he retired, I traveled all over the United States and two times to Germany. After thirty years of marriage, my husband passed away in 1982, and I started painting shortly afterward to forget my loneliness and pain. I began my artistic studies at the Art League School of Washington, D.C. I started in oils and switched to watercolors and have had several moderately successful art shows and selling of my work. Recently, I have started a series in acrylic.
God has given me the artistic talent to paint his beautiful creations. I express my happiness or sadness through my work. I continue to paint as a form of self-expression and to show people the world of beauty that God, the greatest artist, created. Painting gives me the enjoyment to share my artistic talents with the world.ver menos
