Hello, I am a Japanese artist, animal painter and illustrator. My illustrations have been commissioned by clients for Vet’s LOGO mark, pet product’s illustration, wall paintings, as well as privately commissioned portrait paintings.
I love animals and nature which is why I usually paint these subjects. Using watercolours and ink, I enjoy bringing images to life with subtle colour palettes and lively drawings.
My creative passion always comes from an ethical mindset. I strongly believe that all life exists in a circular world and create my works with this in mind. Ethical magic will come true!
