NUTS

She was born in Japan and dreamed of becoming a painter at the age of six.
However, she lacked confidence in her work and gave up on her dream of becoming a painter.
30 Years later, when she had another opportunity to engage in art, she rediscovered her passion for painting.
She is childcare.
She taught herself early childhood education techniques and continued to pursue unlimited expressiveness and unique works through artworks with the theme of “freedom.”
This theme reminded her of her childhood sensibilities.
And,through her art activities, such as workshops, she came into contact with the unique sensibilities of many children, which led her to feel that “the greatest artists are children.”

The source of her inspiration is the nature of Hokkaido. In the clear air, she feels the sky, the earth, and life with all five senses, and senses the universe.

Currently, in addition to digital art, she is pursuing “Dimple Art”an environmentally friendly new form of art developed in Japan, andaims to share it with the world.
Dimple Art is a new type of art that uses ultra-transparent paint developed from research on car recycling.
She conducts Dimple Art workshops to help children discover the joy of self-expression.
Her goal is to increase the number of children who have the ability to create, share and contribute their own work.
She believes that the world will be richer in the future when those children grow up.

Born in Hokkaido, Japan in 1977.
