We welcome this talented floral artist who brings refreshing inventiveness to her demonstrations. Born in Tokyo, she developed her love of flowers as a small child, hiking in the mountains with her father who encouraged her interest in nature. She began Sogetsu lessons in 1962, earning her teaching degree in 1969. She visited the USA in 1970 as a cultural exchange student and lived with a family in Los Altos where she met her future husband. Her work has appeared in San Francisco's deYoung Museum's Bouquets to Arts, as well as teaching locally at Gamble Gardens and Filoli. She is the author of several beautifully illustrated books on the "Art of Sogetsu".

Expect an email with a link to join the Zoom session the day before the meeting. If you need technical assistance in learning about Zoom, contact member Jeanne Ichnowski, who has offered to help you get set up.
