"Certain events can have a major impact that will last a lifetime. The forced removal of the Japanese Canadians - my family was among them - from the west coast into the B.C. interior in 1942 is one of those events. My troubled feelings regarding that traumatic time have remained unfaded along with my ambivalent attitude towards being Canadian of Japanese origin.

"Some years ago, as a way of coming to terms with my ethnicity, I began integrating into my predominantly abstract paintings images of traditional Japanese woodblock prints to illustrate the concept of duality - of being Japanese and Canadian. To further emphasize my Canadian side, I included iconic Canadian images such as an owl and a red dirt road in PEI."
