Artist. Graduated from Notre Dame University of Baltimore in Fine Art, 2004. I have a disabled son and after years of working to support both him and myself, I have decided to leave a low paying job to pursue my Masters in Fine Art. It is a risk but the benefits of such a move would bring better living possibilities for both my son and myself. I am currently attending community college to get my portfolio in order. During this transition, financial help would be an amazing blessing.
May Kuroiwa’s grandparents emigrated from Japan over a hundred years ago to work on a Hawaiian sugarcane plantation. Hawaii and its land and peoples often appear in her work. One of her short stories won the 2020 Chautauqua Literary Arts Charles McCorkle Hauser Prize; another was selected this summer as a Narrative Magazine Story of the Week. Her poems have been published in The Loch Raven Review; Mobius, the Journal of Social Change; and Maryland in Poetry, the 2020 MWA Anthology. She is working on a chap book and her first play.
I’m a self-taught artist who creates art as a way of expressing feelings, emotions, and thoughts that I have merely lost the words for. My current artwork encompasses not only the use of traditional surfaces like canvas and paper but also mirrors, wood panels, cheese cloth, and tiles. I garner inspiration for each piece from the world that I intact with on a daily basis as well as my own emotions to the things I see around me due to the times that we are currently living in.
Having an avid interest in art since I was a very young child, I was constantly drawing, painting and enrolled in just about every local art class available to me. I am a graduate of Moore College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration. Following my college career, I started my own business, Southpaw Studio. Painting is my passion, my style is realism. I have pieces showcased in public establishments thought the area. I also instruct painting classes for adults and children, as well as face paint. You can find my work on Facebook @ Southpawstudioart
