Exhibition & Gyotaku Master Class in Rennes, France
We were invited by Takusekai Europe to take part in an exhibition with several other gyotaku artists in the beautiful city of Rennes, France. A non-stop joyous event where we all worked together, learned from each other, and enjoyed everyone’s company. It was truly wonderful and I cannot wait to be reunited with everyone again soon.

Got interviewed by “The New Yorker” in regards to the anglerfish that we printed for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles! Short blurb of me at the very end of the article. So grateful to be a part of all this!!
Rare Anglerfish Exhibition with Natural History Museum of LA County!!
After weeks of keeping it all under wraps, we are finally able to share the gyotaku art that we were invited to create of this ultra rare and pristine Pacific Footballfish. A type of deep sea Anglerfish that is only one of about 30 adult female specimens ever found.
The preserved anglerfish and our gyotaku art will be on display for a limited time at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County starting August 25th and ending on November 29th!
Reproduction prints at various sizes will be available for purchase on our Etsy store and eventually at the museum itself.
But before you head over to purchase a print, do take a look at the video and the article released by the NHMLA regarding the fish and the creation of the gyotaku print!
Rare Anglerfish Washes Up On Beach, We Get To Print It!!
A very rare Pacific Footballfish in pristine condition made international news when it washed up at Crystal Cove and we received the privileged invitation by the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History to go and print it before they preserved the deep sea fish. The original print has been gifted to the museum and we will share the result when the museum makes the official announcement of a short exhibition!

Exclusive Outdoor Dining Event “Usu-zan” at Single Thread Farms is open!!
This special event is a cumulation of multiple talents all bringing their best to create an incredible dining experience. It may be outdoor dining, but the design of the space transports the patron to a cozy inn in Hokkaido, Japan.
I’ve stepped through the space, dined on the food, and there simply are no words to describe it sufficiently. I am so proud and honored to have had an opportunity to create a piece especially for this that welcomes diners into Usu-zan.
“Usu-zan” Welcomes Outdoor Diners at Single Thread Farms
We personally delivered this unique piece to Kyle & Katina Connaughton, Michelin Three Star Chef and Owners of Single Thread Farms in Sonoma County, California. Each West Coast salmon represented, adorned with Autumn leaves flowing past them, and then mounted in a beautifully hand crafted Shousugiban shadowbox frame.
Kyle and Katina were so gracious to put us up in their master suite where we enjoyed a most restful and inspiring stay. The meal that the chefs created for us made us want to cry. Incredible, wonderful, beautiful.
More information regarding their four month winter event “Usu-zan” where our art will greet patrons at the entrance to their outdoor dining experience. Click here.
Adventurer’s Club – Los Angeles Interview
Invited to the 100+ year old Adventurers Club in Los Angeles as a speaker to be interviewed live streamed at their private clubhouse as their members watched and asked questions online.
Felt like being in the middle of Disneyland’s Indiana Jones Ride wait line and the Tiki Room.
Artifacts, big game mounts and a shrunken head. Really neat place that I look forward to returning to!
