Instructions for Catalogue: One page Resume and Statement combined together with less than 600 words
A) Resume: The difference between Bio and Resume:
Bio is a biography, which states one's story with wordy explanation in sentences.
Resume is to list one's historical record in a chronological order from birth to current.
Chronological Order means that a particular narrative or sequence of events is related in their respective order in linear time. Thus if one were relating the life of George Washington, that storytelling would first tell about his youth, then his life as a survey ot…
Reversal Chronological Order in resume is used for a practical and quick way to find out what one has done most recently by listing the most recent activity on the top and oldest item at the bottom. This type of resume in the Reversal Chronological Order has been used mainly in America for a job or gallery hunting, and it is not considered to be an universal standard resume.
The WAH Center is interested in our artists’ life and how they have progressed to be where they are today. We need artist’s resume in the chronological order.
If your resume with statement exceeds 600 words, you have to eliminate some of the unimportant items from your resume so that your document stays on one page.
Please list each separate category in the following order
Birth Place (option)
Education (list schools attended)
3) Solo Shows
4) Group Shows
5) Achievements & Awards
6) Publications
7) Permanent Collections or Public Collections: If your work is in the Yuko Nii Foundation’s permanent collection, do not forget to list it, because it is very important for a professional artist whose works are in the decent institutions’ permanent collection.
B) Statement: we need your artist’s statement, not necessary about specific works in the show.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT on CLAY medium:
Sometimes I take a break from the more challenging oils, water colors and etchings and turn my attention making figures in clay medium in which I find calming. I enjoy observing people going about their lives, interacting with each other, displaying emotions and often finding them humorous and endearing.
My years of drawing training gives me the ability of rendering human form in 3-D.
Sometimes my attempt at poking fun is not received well as in the case of my interpretation of “Brunhilde and Wotan” when an avid opera fan was offended that I found humor in the story Wagner tells about the tragedy of father’s wrath towards his daughter and that I find the representation of them to be amusing because of the seriousness in which they take themselves.
