Profile

Born in Tokyo in 1982. Lives and works in Ibaraki. Graduated with an MFA from Graduate School of Art and Design, University of Tsukuba in 2007. She is fascinated by things that have opposite two-sides, such as [far/near] [hard/soft] [interesting/frightening] where her creation starts. Using abstract forms such as dots, blurred paint and strokes of colors, she tries to let her paintings reach as far as possible from the starting points.
