In my paintings and drawings, I create a new space. I make an airy watery world using colors.

I use a variety of media: Chinese color, watercolor, acrylic, glass pen and brush, charcoal, colored pencil and oil on paper or canvas.

The color I painted was my memory. My memories were translated into the color on a white canvas. The color is able to make an atmosphere and depth in the paintings.

I grew up in countryside of Japan. There is surrounded by mountains and Pacific Ocean. As a child, I loved to stay outside for enjoying the nature. I was interested in the color of sky, ocean and mountains. Those color have completely changed each season.

The essential voice in my work is one of humor, whimsy, playfulness, wonder and beauty.
