I was unable to participate in the recent SF show due to the sudden death of my fiance, James Philip Ribiat. James was an incredible Renaissance man who was talented in all walks of life and was an avid champion of the arts. In his memory, my family and I are setting up the James Philip Ribiat Arts Endowment Fund for young Ventura county area artists and musicians. We hope that if you are moved to make a donation to a good cause, that you will consider this one. I will be posting more info in the next coming weeks. If you would like to be notified by email, please contact me at: sinagaki @ gmail.com

Words are insufficient to describe how much you will be missed, James. You have been the first and only love of my life. Rest in Peace.

The jewelry line is a bit on a hold because I have been busy with my day job, but I have finally created a Maker's stamp design and font for the name of the line! Keep your peepers peeled.

for now, here's a little something I made for my day job, Rocket World.

I will be in a group show entitled You, Me, and Everyone We Know at Alphonse Berber Gallery, opening on April 17th. Come out to the East Bay!
