Fumiko Medford, Artist
Fumiko Medford was born in Miyasaki, Japan in 1961. She came to the United States in 1986 where she lived in Klamath Falls, Oregon. She has one daughter, Lisa, who is a dancer in Los Angeles. Art and drawing have been a passion for Fumiko since she was very young. She started practicing Bikram Yoga in 2005 and became fascinated with all of the poses-- they are functional, yet each has its own beauty. Fumiko uses colored pencil, ball point pen and sharpies to compose her images. This is Fumiko Medford's first public show.
Yogafrica was established to help fund the OSU Children's Home in Accra, Ghana.The orphanage has approximately 200 orphans ages infant to 18.Kary Doerfler, the director, is a Delta Airline flight attendant who, while travelling to Ghana, became involved with the facility. She and her family have been helping the orphanage for two years. To further improve their lives, Kary created a line of yoga products made by Ghanian single mothers to provide another income source to support the Orphanage. The yoga bags are made from recycled fabrics for lining and 100% sustainable cotton. All proceeds go to The OSU Children's Home in Accra, Ghana.
