She lived in the oppressed world. She didn't have the same rights as men. She had to obey. She was not allowed to express her feelings. She was not allowed to speak out. She was quiet. But she was strong. She had a strong will. She protected herself like a snake. She thought like an Octopus. We need...

I reside in New York City, but I am originally from Japan.
As I paint and draw more, I have found myself returning to my elusive fascination with the figure - the figure as a “figure” and the strokes that make up that figure. Sometimes the strokes are very fast and carefree; sometimes they are bold, even violent. Sometimes they are like touching the forehead of a sleeping baby. I simply enjoy the rhythm of that process.
I was influenced by my mother, who was an amazing calligrapher, but I am not a calligrapher. My grandfather and great-grandfather were also practicing calligraphers. Why am I a painter and not a calligrapher? That I don’t know.
Over the last decade, I experienced the hardships that everyone has to go through as an adult. As I overcame the pain little by little, I started to appreciate that I’m still alive, and this realization increased my desire to paint people’s emotions more. I did not necessarily want to go through these experiences, but I felt they have made me a better painter than I was before.
I more and more want to capture the momentary beats of life.
