In my teens, I discovered the joy of expressing myself through music by joining the brass band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, after entering university, the excitement of new discoveries eluded me, and I struggled to find a job. Eventually, I ended up working for a real estate company. Despite the happiness of marriage and the arrival of children, I found myself questioning if this was truly what I wanted to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the midst of this, I encountered alcohol ink art, and its beauty instantly captured my heart. Driven by a strong desire to try it, I embarked on a new and exhilarating challenge. With my husband&#8217;s job transfer, we relocated to Okinawa, Japan, in 2017, where I made the decision to wholeheartedly pursue alcohol ink art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially faced with a lack of information in Japanese, I navigated through days of trial and error. Drawing inspiration from videos by international artists, I honed my skills through self-learning. Engaging with people through solo exhibitions and workshops allowed me to share the joy and emotions conveyed through my art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My pieces draw inspiration from the beauty of nature, including the sky, clouds, flowers, plants, and the sea. I express the energy of these elements through alcohol ink art, creating a world that transforms into a positive and cozy space in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to 2023, I&#8217;ve relocated to California, San Diego, expanding the scope of my artistic endeavors and sharing the beauty of my expressions with a broader audience.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Since my childhood, I&#8217;ve had a deep love for drawing and crafting.
