Drawings, Prints, Printmaking
" The drawings I do are for the people who suffered and who struggled for
their lives--for food and clothing. What strength was used by our
great-grandfathers in their livelihood. That is what I show in my drawings.
I put some feeling into them. I make an adventure and share my art with the
people of any country who love my art. I make designs on paper."
