Teruo Artistry’s name comes from Brian and Timothy’s grandfather, Teruo Iyama (1919 - 2007), who recently passed away. Teruo, a United States Citizen, was incarcerated in the American concentration camps of World War II. Instead of becoming bitter and angry upon his release, Teruo was able to rebuild and become a successful entrepreneur and fine artist. He epitomizes the American dream. Teruo Artistry adopted the name in the hopes of emulating Teruo’s immense perseverance, courage and talent. Teruo Iyama was an accomplished oil painter, carpenter, tailor, gardener and business man among other things, who consistently created something from nothing.
Teruo (pronounced te like tender, ru like ruin, o like owner) is a Japanese first name meaning sunshine man. The first kanji (Chinese character) teru stands for sunshine or good fortune.
