啟蒙Enlightenment
生於台灣新竹市，自幼即顯露對藝術的天賦與興趣，就讀淡江中學時，受到留日畫家陳敬輝老師的啟蒙，開啟繪畫創作之路。 留學日本文化服裝學院期間，開始學習草月流花藝，沉浸於其自由奔放的風格，抽象的手法與豐富的光影，間接影響她後續的創作。
Born in Hsinchu, Taiwan, Yoko had shown her interest and talent in art since childhood. Inspired by her teacher, Chen Jing-Huei, a Japan-trained painter, at Tamkang High School, Yoko began creating her own works ever since then. While studying at Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo, Japan, Yoko also started learning Sogetsu ikebana (flower arrangement), whose free-spirited style, abstract expression and emphasis on the interplay of light and shadow subsequently influenced her works.
風格Style
回台後重拾畫筆，並向國際知名藝術家吳炫三學習，形塑出她在繪畫上的風格：豐富的色彩、靈活的筆觸、輕巧帶有童真的架構，跳脫傳統學院的框架，展現個人浪漫的藝術家性格，並帶有一股自信的神采。 逾五十年的創作生涯，初期的作品取材自熟悉的花卉與靜物，以寫意的形式表現，「綻放」、「遠方」系列多為這個時期的作品。 中期開始抽離形狀，強調以色彩表達內心世界，無論是以抽象的線條為主的「律動」，或是揮灑於方寸之間的「微觀」，都極具感染力。 後期在畫風與創作數量皆達至高峰，成為個人創作印記的「符號」系列，挑戰大型作品的「無界」，屢次受邀在台灣與日本展出。
After returning to Taiwan, Yoko studied oil-painting under A-Sun Wu, an internationally renowned artist, and developed her own style: vibrant colors, vigorous strokes and a childlike yet playful structure. This breakaway from conventional academic framework demonstrates the characteristics of Yoko as a romantic and confident artist. With an art career spanning over 50 years, Yoko’s early works often depict flowers and still life familiar to her day-to-day life in an expressive fashion. Most of the pieces in the “Blossoming” and “Faraway” series were created during this period. Yoko then began de-constructing shapes and focused on using colors to reflect her inner world. Emotionally impactful, both the series of “Rhythmic”, characterized by abstract lines, and of “Micro”, represented by numerous small-scale paintings, are typical of this period. Yoko’s artistic capacity culminated in her late works, which are included in the series of “Symbolic” and “Boundless”—in the latter, Yoko challenged herself by painting in large scale. They were invited by art galleries and museums in Taiwan and Japan for exhibitions.
