Yoko Ono was born in 1933 in Japan. She was born into a wealthy family but she learned early on to be an assertive person when she and her family lost everything in the bombing of Japan in 1945. She learned to stand firmly and be decisive and assertive in her actions by modeling her mother. They had to be strong to survive-they had become beggars- while living with some family members in the mountains after the bombing.Yoko moved to New York later and went to high school then to a local college. She studied art and exhibited her work in New York Galleries. Her earlier works in the 1960's through 1970's were more an avant-garde style. Yoko, today is recognized as an influential artist who pushes the boundaries of the art, film, music and theater media; moreover, she participates in philanthropic contributions to the arts, peace and aids outreach programs.
