She was born and raised in Nagasaki, Japan. She grew up with a generous mother who worked as a childcare specialist. In an environment where she could challenge anything, she went to study abroad to Los Angeles by herself when she was 17 years old. During her stay she met people from all over the world and experienced different cultures. She also hit the first big wall of her life because she couldn’t speak English. Because of her cultural differences she had problems with her host family. She decided to move out and she moved to a new place where she met her best friends. Her friends were always there for her and treated her like a family. She started to make their portraits when she felt thankful to them. It was so natural to her to draw and paint even though she didn’t know anything about art. People loved her works and their smiles filled up her sadness.
