She grew up with an interest in art and began teaching herself to paint after studying fashion. Alongside solo and group exhibitions, she creates artwork for books, music, film and theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer work is characterised by figures whose faces are obscured by plants, animals or landscapes. These portraits are not tied to a single identity, leaving space for viewers to bring their own memories and emotions to them. Drawing on everyday feelings and scenes from nature, she brings together elements that would not ordinarily coexist. After working in pencil and acrylic, she has increasingly focused on oil-painted portraits, also incorporating imagery drawn from myths, poetry and stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBiography and selected exhibitions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1982\u003c\/strong\u003e — Born.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2021\u003c\/strong\u003e — Solo exhibitions “モーメント” (OIL by Bijutsutecho, Tokyo) and “もりのなか・In the Woods” (elephant STUDIO, Tokyo; organised by WATOWA GALLERY).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2022\u003c\/strong\u003e — Solo exhibition “わたしの庭” (Nihombashi Mitsukoshi Art Salon, Tokyo).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2023\u003c\/strong\u003e — Solo exhibition “Melancholia” (elephant STUDIO, Tokyo; organised by WATOWA GALLERY).
