  • "Before going to art school, I was obsessive over reading about contemporary Japanese artists such as Aya Takano, Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara and wanted to somehow adapt my work to reference them. Their work provoked nostalgic feelings about my youth and identity as a kid, despite not being Japanese. Then, during University, I took a keen interest in mostly American painters such as John Wesley, Philip Guston and Laylah Ali, so I suppose the style I have now is a merging of these two periods in my life.’"
