Shadow Box is a type of decoupage art in which 3-D artwork are encased in framed box.
To achieve this 3-D illusion, layers of paper are cut into its according shape and are glued into different heights. Paper pieces can be varnished to round out objects, and glitter can be added to make water shimmer, along with other techniques.

I fell in love with this art form and have been doing it for over 15 years. I have also been teaching others for the last 13 years.

Not only do I produce these delicate art pieces, I also make custom mats and frames to best match each piece.
I am crazy about it and will try just about anything to create new looks and go beyond with this new art form.

My pieces have been exhibited at the annual Alameda County Fair and I have performed demonstrations there as well.
My students have won several awards every year in the US and Japan.

I am fueled by my enthusiasm for this art form, and want to be skillful and energetic teacher. My classes are packed with information and ideas, and I am willing to help everyone unleash their creative side.
