My name is Clement Hanami and I am a visual artist and exhibition developer. My videos reflect my artistic sensibilities and the things i enjoy doing in my free time and that is family, the great outdoors, authentic experiences, and eating of all kinds. Hopefully I can share all of these aspects with you the viewer. If you like any of these videos, hit the like button, subscribe, and share them with your networks.   

I grew up in East Los Angeles. My mother was a hibakusha (atomic bomb survivor) and my father was a third generation Japanese American who was forced to evacuate because of Executive Order 9066. I graduated from Garfield High School and received an AA from ELAC. I received a BA and MFA from the University of California at Los Angeles in Studio Art with a specialization in New Genres. At UCLA, my graduate advisor was Paul McCarthy and worked alongside artists like Jason Rhoades and Martin Kersels. I am a firm believer in diversity, equity and inclusion for all people.
