An artist and researcher. She investigates the contemporary expression of prints and the aesthetics between the West and Japan associated with Modernism. Her current series, Auditorium, the different views of the performers' perspective from the audience, is associated with the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and also the notion of anonymity, equivalency, and ambivalence. The expression is based on Western art as well as Japanese aesthetics such as its values of dim light in darkness. The work uses traditional Japanese materials such as Echizen washi Japanese paper, Sumi ink, and pigments provided by long-established manufacturers to preserve traditional industries. Her works were exhibited in the RA Summer Exhibition, the Royal Scottish Academy Annual, and WCPF. After her MA in Fine Art Printmaking at Camberwell UAL, she was awarded the Printmaking Today Journal's State of the Art.
