About Your Instructor: Yoshida sensei, known as Patty to all her friends, is an artist and art instructor based in the City of Mount Dora where she shares her Japanese inspired art through workshops designed for students interested in learning about Japanese Arts and Crafts. Born in Peru, where her grand parents migrated from Japan early in the 20th century, Ery showed an interest in drawing and painting from an early age and was particularly inspired by the art of Japan. Encouraged by her parents, she practiced with all kinds of media and as a young child she would eagerly and anxiously await the craft magazines which would arrive from Japan. After graduating from San Marcos Medical School in Lima, Peru she moved to the United States and in 2001, found herself in Mt Dora where she now lives with her husband. Art came alive again for her when she found the opportunity to cultivate her creativity and passion for all kinds of art under the guidance and tutelage of Fine Artist Lucina Roark. Today, Ery is an active practitioner at Hummingbird Studio, Mount Dora, a place where art and design meet. There, she offers instruction in Chigiri-e, Silk Painting, Cotton Shibori Dyeing, Temari Making, and displays many examples of her work in mixed media, fabric, fibers and resin. |
