Reflections
I was moving into my very first apartment in my early 20's. I may have met Aunt Jessica once but barely remembered her. I knew she was an artist and I looked around my new place with its bare white walls. I thought, "maybe I can get some artwork from my Aunt". I wrote to Aunty Jessica, told her I had empty walls, and before I knew it, there were batiks in the mail. I was very touched that she didn't hesitate to share her work with me and they have been gracing my walls ever since.

I wish I would have had an opportunity to know the woman who brought us such a wonderful daugther. I have art around my home from Lorel that had roots in her mother's creatiity and so Jessica Keiko Kawasuna Saiki will live on in our lives when we view the gorgeous art. Thank you "mom" for bringing Lorel into the world and into our lives; she's a wonderful acorn that fell close to the tree!
