Esther Shimazu

 

Hawaiian born ceramic artist Esther Shimazu painstakingly uses hand building techniques to create nude figures with a strong affinity for historical Asian and Pacific body imagery.

She holds a MFA, 1982,

and a BFA, 1980, from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She received a Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation Purchase Award, 2001, and an Individual Artist Fellowship Award from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, 1995.
