My name is Sumiko Braithwaite. I have had a love affair with all art forms since I was a teenager. I was born in Kumamoto, Japan, and began studying fine arts while still in High School. I traveled to Italy in 1958 and studied under local artists there. I was married while in Naples and put my artistic endeavors on hold while I raised my family. Besides my four years in Italy, I lived in Washington, D.C., Honolulu, HI and finally settled in San Diego, CA. I became serious with art as a student at Miramar College where I received an AA degree in Fine Art. I attended a class in clay at Mesa College and found my calling. At Mesa I studied ceramics, sculpting and glaze technology under Dr. John Conrad. Dr. Conrad is a world famous author and a Master Potter. I create unique "Double Wall" pottery in a style that is definitely all my own. You can see examples at http://www.doublewallpottery.4t.com or go to http://www.vasefinder.com and check the international shows. Examples of my work can be found in many private collections worldwide.
I am a member of Clay Artists of San Diego, Shelter Island Art Association, Coronado Art Association and San Diego Museum of Art, Artist Guild.
