History Until one day, a gift arrived at his desk. It was a small painting. Joe was mesmerized by how the colors were bold, bright, and beautiful. Joe placed this painting next to his computer and continued his daily work routine. However, each day upon arriving at his cubicle he would look at his painting and notce a different shape, color, and detail. Suddenly the world around him began to look different. He began taking the bus at 7:15, said “hello” to new people, and arrived to his painting, not his cubicle. Joe realized that his view of life was absorbed by routine and centered around his cubicle box. This painting re-opeend his eyes to the world and people around him. “When are you going to look outside the box?” Words
from the Artist In addition to working on pieces for Work Art World, I work with individuals coping with life-threatening illness and give them an opportunity to convey their feelings and experiences through creating art at the bedside and in the Infusion Center where patients receive chemotherapy treatment. Using Art in this form has given me an appreciation for its ability to heal and give self expression. Each person I work with touches my life in some way, leaving an impression which will stay with me always. For more info on Art for Recovery: http://cc.ucsf.edu/afr/ " Kimiko Sakuma

"There
are rare moments in life when you catch a dream and hold it so tight that
you can feel it at the core. Work art world is my dream and represents
how I see life. Each
painting is hand crafted from my home, a place which cultivates warmth
and creativity. Each piece captures the colors, emotion, individuality,
and humor which make life, especially work, bearable. Through the help
and support of many amazing people, who have contributed their time, love,
and dedication, this dream has become a reality.
