Aya has loved to color since she was a child. She had a strong sensitivity and the ability to see and feel nature, people, and things in the world as they are.
She was interested in various worlds and cultures. During her school years, she became obsessed with art, watching movies, reading, and traveling with only a backpack. These experiences honed her sense of color and taste.
In May of 2020, she decided to draw a vivid bird from an illustrated book while playing with her children. At the moment, to her surprise, joy welled up from within her, and she remembered the joy of coloring and expressing herself. That was the start of her creative activities.
She is currently enjoying making abstract collage artwork with Japanese paper. Through her artwork, she wants to express and share her world and convey the joy of expression.
In April 2022, she made her exhibition debut at “BUNGEI Art Life Museum Vol.2” in Tokyo, where her work of collage using Japanese paper attracted a buyer and favorable reviews. Besides the “Made in Japan” exhibition in New York, she participated in the exhibition “CROSS OVER Vol.39” in Thailand this month. She is scheduled to join several exhibitions in Tokyo and Osaka in and after September 2022.
