Miyoshi's printmaking experience began as a student of Tokuzo Okabe, a master silkscreen printer, in Japan. She was also involved in reproduction of Ukiyo-E woodcuts as a Kira (mica) printer. After receiving her MFA in Printmaking from University of New Mexico, she built scientific exhibitions for Explora Science Center, a children's science museum, in Albuquerque, NM. The work had a great effect on her creative practice and observational habit. Miyoshi has given printmaking workshops in Los Angeles and New York and collaborated with artists creating intaglio and silk-screen prints in these cities. Currently she teaches printmaking classes at Cal State University, Long Beach. Miyoshi's recent exhibitions include 70 W/ m 2 : Remarks on Solar Phenomena , a solo show at Harwood Art Center, Albuquerque, NM; Los Angeles Printmaking Society 17th National Exhibition at the Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, CA; and Sky in Water at Plan B, Santa Fe, NM.
