- Abstract
In this article, the author, who is a painter presents information about herself. She wanted to be a stewardess until age four, and then wanted to be an artist. Born in Japan she moved to the U.S. with her family, first to the West Coast, then the East Coast, finally settling in the Midwest. She lived in fifteen states, all suburban areas, until she left home. Her undergraduate degree is in design. At twenty-three, she quit her job as a designer for Time/Life Incorporated at Rockefeller Center in New York City. She began to teach herself to paint. She had two undergraduate painting classes behind her and all the museums in New York at her reach. The rural land and its inhabitants are of great importance to her these days. The painting "She Shaves" is inspired by watching an Asian friends shave her face so that her makeup applies smoothly. Another one "The New Mrs." is a reaction to seeing a woman hold up her wedding gown. The author was struck by the shape of the gown, as well as by what the white gown often stands for in their culture-- feminity, womanhood, a rite of passage.
