After her relocation, there were many years when she was not involved in any form of art because she was learning to adjust to a new language and culture while working at the same time. However, her passion for art was always there. Masako began sculpting with clay in 1998 at the Francis Anderson Center in Edmonds, and in the spring of 2002 started acrylic painting.
