I am a mixed media artist based in Michigan. I work with watercolor and thread to create works inspired by the natural world. Growing up in the countryside of Japan, nature was my constant companion. Majestic mountains surrounded my home, and plants and flowers were always a part of my imaginative play. From a young age, I developed a deep admiration for the inherent beauty of nature. Earning BFA at Syracuse University in Fashion Design, I incorporate my sewing skill in my artwork while exploring variety of surfaces such as paper, tulle and fibers.
