Day And Night Painting

Born and raised in Japan, I had lived and traveled to Paris, London in her late twenties before residing in the United States. Though I always had an interest in art, my career started as a fashion designer. I studied apparel fashion design and worked as a fashion designer throughout most of my twenties. However, many years of soul searching brought me to the realization that art is the purpose in my life. My style is influenced by surrealism, especially Salvador Dali's artwork. I also am attracted to imaginism, which is a new art movement termed by a photographer, Thomas Hodges. Although my works are primarily abstract, I am also inspired by human beauty and sensuality.
