“Orangutan” 24x72 From my fading light series that highlights endangered species and habitat destruction #orangutans #endangeredspecies #habitatdestruction
“Maple Fall”. 36x72. Three paintings to make one. Another in my environment series where I fracture the landscapes, cut them up and tear them apart, and reassemble them into an incomplete whole.#landscape #environment
I am honored that the De Saisset Museum chose to acquired "Manzanar" for their permanent collection. An Iconic image from the archive of Toyo Miyatake taken during the Japanese Internment during WWII. The text used are Executive Order 9066 which authorized the imprisonment of West coast Japanese Americans and Executive Order 9102 which established the War Relocation Authority who oversaw the internment. The De Saisset Museum is located in the campus of Santa Clara University with a goal of supporting the idea of educating the whole person.
After being closed to the public due to covid protocols my show at the Japanese American Museum San Jose will be opening to the public June 15th. We have extended the show to run through August 29th to give people the opportunity to see the portraits in person.
A nice write up by Claire Murphy in The Santa Clara following up on a show i did at the De Saisset Museum on the campus os Santa Clara University. Link to the article in my bio
Gregory’s great, great, great, grandmother “Frankie” was sold into slavery at the Manchester Slave Docks in what is now Ancarrow’s Landing on the James River in Virginia in the 1840’s. She was bought as a gift for a white man’s son and taken to Louisiana.
After looking at it for months thinking it was finished, I added white outlines
Playing with a brush pen creating new marks. Varying pressure and speed produce different width and density of the ink. Ink on floated poplar
"Solitude" 48x36 acrylic on panel
Another portrait of my father based on a photograph taken by Dorothea Lange as Japanese Americans on the West Coast were gathered up and sent to prison during World War II. The text is the California Alien Land Law of 1913, which targeted mostly Japanese farmers who were “aliens in eligible for citizenship” and prohibited them from owning agricultural land or possessing long-term leases over it. #stopasianhate
