After my nine years at Chanel in Paris as an illustrator, I started to create fine artwork in various areas: video creation, photography, painting and embroidery.
I am currently taking the graduate certificate in Contemporary Visual Art at the VCA at the University of Melbourne.
I was born in a small traditional rural village in Niigata in Japan. My art practices reflect Japanese Shinto/Buddhist philosophies of living harmoniously with others including the natural world.
My mother sets a strong example of Eco-feminism which also influences my art making.
I question current human oriented society values and promote co-habitation with the Natural World through my art practices.
