I am a BFA student focused on making ceramic works
TL;DR — I spent 25 years in computer science and built a lot of apps. Today I am challenging myself to become a ceramicist at Long Island University while I explore my own style.
Present (2021–)
I have worked in ceramics since 2021, beginning with hand building and wheel throwing under Johnna Woods at LIU Brooklyn, then intermediate wheel work with Min Choi at Clay Space Brooklyn. I am now enrolled in BFA Fine Arts at LIU Post, where Frank Olt is my instructor at the Craft Center — my primary studio, where I work evenings and weekends.
Past (1979–2021)
After high school in Tokyo, I continued my education in the United States, earning a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science at Long Island University, where I later taught as an adjunct. I co-founded ObjectGraph LLC, returned to graduate school in Earth & Environmental Science, and taught "Mobile GIS Programming." My more recent study spans machine learning and quantum computing.
