Artist Description:

I'm an international mixed-media artist, merging kintsugi's ancient art with vibrant color to offer solace amid life's chaos. My art embodies resilience, echoing Earth's potential for healing amidst climate upheaval. Trained extensively in Japan, including at Temple’s Tokyo Campus, I've showcased at esteemed venues like Tokyo Tower Art Fair and Ueno No Mori Art Museum. Awards from global exhibitions adorn my career, with works gracing private collections worldwide and corporate spaces like German Centre, Singapore. Through my art, I illuminate the beauty in imperfection and the planet's capacity for renewal, echoing Kintsugi's philosophy of balance and healing.
