Homare Ikeda was born in the small subtropical island of Yoron, near Okinawa.

A curious and creative young boy, he much enjoyed exploring the island surrounded by corral reefs, but soon was unsatisfied with just knowing homogenous small Island culture. After graduating high school, he hitchhiked and traveled many places in Japan, and later made a backpack trip to India.

He moved to the United States in 1978 to study at the Community College in Stockton Ca. He found his vocation as artist, thanks to his mentor and teacher. He obtained a BFA and MFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

His art explores the process of life’s cycles in microscopic view. The sensitive line and seed-like form is in his vehicle to journey into the mist of seas where all forgotten memories are fermented. His playful approach to drawing evokes an innocent time and yet suggests a complex view of the universe.
