Touch and Go
Ray Yoshida
A descendant of Japanese immigrants, Ray Yoshida (1930-2009 ) was born on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. His studies at the University of Hawaii were cut short when he was drafted into the army during the Korean war and stationed in Japan. After he was discharged, he moved to Chicago where he received degrees from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Syracuse University. A few years before he died, he returned to Hawaii. Of his art, Mr. Yoshida said, “Canvases become the visual gathering place of my fragmented self.”
