I'm self-taught artist originally from Japan. After earning my bachelor degree of Spanish Language at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, I moved to Mexico where I worked as a travel agent, graphic designer and kindergarten teacher. I moved to USA in 2013 with my partner and three children. 

​

Travelling between East and West cultures has challenged me to accept and adapt to new cultural enviroment. 

Moving and living in Mexico and USA, I learned Spanish and English as second and third language. I switch between three languages in my everyday life. Doing that over years and years, I have become aware of my thoughts shape slightly different depends on which language I use or who I am communicating with. My trilingual mind shapes three different version of my personality, which is confusing and sophisticated. I think lots of us in these days might have felt similar phenomenon dealing with different kind of tasks with different kind of people in different places. Creating art is a way to clear up overwhelming mind. I would like to viewers to provide positive feeling through my art. Also, my purpose of creating art is to build a bridge across cultural barriers and bring diverse people on a journey to an imaginary world.
