Masae has always had a love for art, and excelled in art classes as a student in Japan. At the turn of this century she decided to pursue these talents, and began painting as a hobby. It wasn’t long before people began asking to offer for her paintings. 

​

Masae’s paintings range from Hawaiian landscapes and floral abstracts to her favorite subject of all, her beloved Great White Yard Shark (the family cat).

​

Masae says, “I now get more pleasure from seeing someone take my art home than I used to keeping it all for myself. I appreciate all the support from my friends, family, my clients who love my work and especially my mentor and teacher Ed Furuike.
