Bio:
I love nature and plants, and have been fascinated by them since childhood. As an adult, I enjoy taking photographs of nature and landscapes and creating art inspired by them.
After graduating from college, I started working at a café. Aiming at community development through cafes, I planned and managed events to form local communities.
I visited Reggio Emilia Education in Italy and a forest daycare center in Germany and was very impressed by the possibilities of education.
Experience as a childcare worker:.
The visits to Italy and Germany led me to become a nursery school teacher in Japan, where I worked at a nursery school and a forest daycare center.
I was passionate about working with children through nature and art, providing a space for free expression.
Current Activities:
I am working on workshops on the theme of “Nature, Children, and Art” and creating art works using lotus leaves and Indian linden trees and other plants.
I create, exhibit, and sell artwork inspired by Japanese nature and culture in each of the four seasons.
Future Projects:.
I plan to try new methods of expression, such as leaf print art.
I would like to actively hold workshops for children and people from all walks of life to enrich their lives by enjoying art.
Through my artwork, I aim to bring peace and happiness to people's hearts.
