I am a contemporary pop-surrealist artist born in Japan, raised in Hawaiʻi, and currently based in Southern California. I bring a touch of sweetness to life through the lens of a child’s curiosity and wonder.

My experience of living abroad for 12 years has shaped my identity and taught me to observe the world as one shared stage, where every living thing is equally important and has its own story to tell. This perspective can be seen in my mixed-media paintings, where stylized animals engage with one another, intertwined within stage-like environments.

​

With a background in traditional fine arts education at LCAD, I use my developed drawing and painting techniques to explore the world through playfulness and instinct, expressed through whimsical hues and kitschy imagery.
