Art and being an artist are therapy for her physically, psychologically, and spiritually. Mine NOW reflects her dual Buddhist-Catholic heritage. Her work frequently explores the relationship between humans, nature, and objects. She thinks of art as an objective homage to her Eastern and Western traditions and the raw architecture and sounds of the city—adding conflict, balance, and harmony to shape her work’s form and energy in her constant search for new noise and passion. Okumura has relationships with galleries in Manhattan, Westport, Boston, and Charleston and exhibited at Swiss Art Expo ZÜRICH, Art Metropole Europe Barcelona, Spain Urbanside Gallery, Red Dot Miami, Artexpo New York Art Fair.
