Yoko Sekino-Bové was born in Osaka, Japan. She graduated from Musashino Art University in Tokyo with a BA in graphic design. She moved to the US to study advertising and worked in L.A. until her love of ceramics led her to pursue a professional career. In 2002, she began her Masters of Fine Art at the University of Oklahoma.
Yoko uses botanical imagery as a means of expressing her emotions, insights and fancies. The quiet gestures of the imagery, paired with the traditionally and technically beautiful forms in porcelain, translate into inspiring vessels.
