Biography:
Born in Osaka in 1973. MA of Kyoto University of Art and Design. The main theme of her work is "scenery" but she does not mean drawing the real scenery. Instead, she tries to re-establish time and space within a given scenery in a most defined way. By looking at her drawing, one will be able to experience the emotion that the drawing projects. Also, she uses many materials for her works and this is because she applies specific material for specific work. She is one of the most hopeful young artists in Japan. In 1996, Stayed and Worked in New York with The ７th Sekiguchi Art　Foundation Award （Selected by Akira Tatehata）. Stayed and Worked in Kurashiki,　Okayama with The 1st ARKO (Artist in Residence Kurashiki , Ohara) by Ohara Museum of Art in 2005.
