I like describing a little dairy happiness by use of animals. (E.g. A good smell comes from a kitchen when I go back home, mum just bought me a chocolate cake when I fancy). I've always been aware of family, friends and people's connection when I paint. It's important to express things without exaggeration, not like over expressing or showing off. I'd like to keep expressing a human that being natural and warm.
I'm happy if people realize a happiness that they usually forget as it's so common and if people feel warm from my piece.

A happiness is like a magic, it just makes us warm and happy even a little one. I try and not to forget the feeling that when I see a beautiful view and flower, they move my heart.
I've been active as an illustrator but also doing an art activity such as having a work shop, writing Manga, making a picture book and reading a picture book for children after a marriage and having twins.
