From her bio on Saatchi Art: I was born in Yokohama, Japan, a cosmopolitan port city near Tokyo famous for its international flavor. My formal art training began at age eight with oil painting and Japanese calligraphy. Through painting I explored the realms of color and composition, while my calligraphy master instilled discipline and precision in my brush strokes. At the avant-garde Bunka Gakuin Institute of Fine Arts in Tokyo I studied under Masanari Murai, a pioneering Japanese abstract artist who encouraged my artistic freedom.
I strive to create art in which diverse geometric elements are united within a holistic visual universe. In each work my challenge is to achieve a delicate balance, dynamic tension and integration of geometric forms accentuated by evocative colors. My concepts are spontaneous with the compositions emerging in pure, complete form.
My motto is Art for Living, which expresses my belief that people need a relationship with art that enriches their daily life, stimulates the imagination, provides comfort and enhances the personal environment.
