I'm an ink painter, a member of the 'International Chinese Calligraphy & Ink Painting Art Society' (ICCPS), Tokyo, Japan. Co-creator of the Ink Treasures project. I was introduced at a young age to Asian culture and subsequently to the martial arts. My art is deeply influenced by Buddhism. My accompanying passions are paintings, karate kyokushin and mountain climbing to which I have been devoted for some 20 years. I cite as my mentors nature, intuition, and books. My paintings are in the collections of many famous Masters of martial arts.more
