WELcome!
I am a queer and nonbinary, Japanese and Polish, chronically ill artist living and working in Portland, Oregon. My work centralizes around text and image, and I use the combination of these two elements to create connection with my community in a multitude of ways. I started my calligraphy work in Japan with my grandmother where she was born, and continued my art practice to pursue illustration, bookbinding, and virtual reality environments. I received a BFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Arts in 2021, and focused on intermedia materials. You can find my virtual gallery under “THESIS” on the website menu. My focus was on gender, race, and chronic illness, and my efforts to understand the workings of intersectionality and how to best support a wide variety of communities through art. Directly after getting my degree, I began the process to get licensed as a tattoo artist and owned a small studio until 2025, when it had to be closed due to constant bigotry-fueled violent threats on every social media platform.
I took many months off to recover both my mind and my sense of self as an artist, and eventually re-entered the arts community through a ceramics studio. I am currently exploring pottery and calligraphy, quiltmaking, and block carving. Feel free to browse around and contact me with any questions about my work!
