Jamisen Critchley, native of Middlebury, Vermont. A freelance artist and long time resident of Japan will be having a show of her smaller works in Sonoma restaurant in Dogenzaka, Shibuya until the end of January. She does mostly watercolor and mixed media and lately oil. In her free time she is studying Japanese traditional music. She first became interested in Japanese aesthetics when she was a high school student studying Japanese art in Japan. Inspired by the tradition, originality and beauty Japan offered, she has been fortunate to meet and learn from some very gifted Japanese artists while studying in Japan. "I think the most important thing in life is to stay true to your self, and preserve your originality."

An artists reception will be held Tuesday, January 20th from 7-pm.

Fire and Ice
Poem by Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
