| Sumiko has had a love affair with all art forms since she
was a teenager. Born in Kumamoto, Japan, she began studying fine
arts while still in High School. She traveled to Italy in 1958 and
studied under local artists there. She married while in Naples and
her work was put on hold while she raised her family. Sumiko has lived in Washington, D.C., Honolulu and finally settled in San Diego, CA. She became serious with her art as a student at Miramar College where she received an AA degree in Fine Art. She attended a class in clay at Mesa College and found her calling. At Mesa she studied ceramics, sculpting and glaze technology. Sumiko creates unique "Double Wall" pottery in a style that is definitely all her own. Examples of her work can be found in many private collections worldwide. |
