2010年、筑波大学芸術専門学群洋画専攻を卒業後、渡米。ジャクソン・ポロック、高村光太郎、アイ・ウェイ・ウェイらを輩出したThe Art Students League に入学。

2020年には、時計会社のSwatch のスポンサーの元、Swatch Art Peace Hotelに半年間アーティストとして、上海に招待され作品制作予定。現在、ニューヨークにあるアトリエを拠点に精力的に活動している。
Fabric is her medium of choice because people everywhere can relate more easily to this material, which conveys warmth, natural softness and the intimate human touch. The act of wrapping is essential to her sculptures.
Her artwork begins with choosing and cutting fabric to make cotton filled balls. These vibrant, sometimes flamboyant colored balls are bounded together to make each masterpiece unique and extraordinary. Each ball represents the inner state of Mankind. The gesture of wrapping around each round ball, is an act of transformation that converts pain, sadness and despair into positive energy such as love or a prayer for comfort. She hopes her work conveys a sense of happiness and celebrates the human spirit.
