While having been influenced by Western culture as a child growing up in Japan, Motoko nonetheless has never forgotten the debt she feels she owes to her encounter with Japanese calligraphy practice in shaping her training in Art, an attitude that eventually led to her earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in printmaking and figurative drawing from Western Washington University. A two-decades absence from creating artwork was filled with her activities involving canine husbandry and small animal massage as well as encountering with Reiki. But Motoko has started to draw again. Motoko feels that her true language is drawing and likes to draw from live sources whenever possible. She believes that emotion reveals itself from the lines and forms, creating an atmosphere beyond the paper.
