		•Roger Shimomura: An American Diary December 8, 2001 - March 24, 2002
			The exhibit includes 30 paintings based on Roger Shimomura's grandmother Toku Shimomura's diary. Spanning over 50 years from her arrival in America as a Japanese picture bride through her experiences as an internment camp survivor, Shimomura created a visual translation of her life at Camp Minidoka in Idaho during World War II. Each painting is accompanied by a bronze plate with the relevant diary entry.
		•Roger Shimomura: Memories of Childhood December 8, 2001 - March 24, 2002
			The ten prints in this series portray the artist's first ten memories of childhood, representing the artist's own impressions of living in an internment camp through his eyes as a young child.
		•Roger Shimomura: Selected Works December 8, 2001 - March 10, 2002
			A complement to Shimomura's An American Diary and Memories of Childhood series, this exhibit includes a group of paintings, lithographs, silk-screens and objects drawn from the artist's personal collection, local collectors, Microsoft Corporation and Greg Kucera Gallery, Seattle, WA. The artwork spans from 1983 to 2001, representing the last 18 years of Shimomura's artistic career. Many of the works reference more traditional Japanese aesthetics such as Ukiyo-e, woodblock prints, along with the artist's adaptation of American Pop Art.
