Art teacher Hiroko Yoshimoto has contributed a large amount of time and dedication to helping the young find their inspiration in art Even though these are her last days at VC, her teaching and artwork will long be remembered at the college.
Yoshimoto, a 35-year veteran in art at VC, related one of the most memorable moments of her career at VC. This was when CSU Channel Islands gave Yoshimoto her own art show, and approximately 50 of her former students over the past three decades came to visit her and congratulate her on the show.
Although Yoshimoto is retiring, she is still going to instruct one final summer session at VC.
Yoshimoto also plans to continue producing artwork after her retirement. She intends to travel the world before doing so, however.
Last spring, Yoshimoto received a faculty recognition award for outstanding service to students.
