One day, a young couple brought the news of their engagement to Miho. G. When she offered them to give her painting as a gift, they requested a colorful and festive one.
This was her second time giving her painting as a gift. There has to be a strong feeling toward the receiver when giving a present. The news of their engagement gave her a fresh delight.
She filled the canvas with big and small flowers, painting them as though she went up above the sky.
“Build a happy family always with joy in your mind no matter what happens from now on.”
With that message in her mind, “Be happy” came to life.
或る日、若いカップルが婚約したとMiho. G に伝えた。そこで彼女が、お祝いに絵をプレゼントしたい、と言うと、カラフルで華やかな絵をリクエストされた。
絵のプレゼントは２度目になる。相手への何か強い想いが生じなければ、プレゼントには至らない。婚約の報告は、彼女にとって新鮮な喜びがあった。
大小の幾つかの花を隙間なく集め、天空に昇るかの様に描いていった。
「この先どんなことがあっても、明るい気持ちを失わず、良い家庭を築いて欲しい」
そんな想いの内に、Be happy は完成した。
When Miho.G was young, she wanted to become a textile designer and was employed at the HANAE-MORI group company. However, she realized the gap between design and reality. So she gave up her dream of becoming a textile designer. After that, she got an office job at a general company.
At the age of 40, she started watercolor painting in her own way and at the age of 50, she was encouraged by her watercolor instructor to take upon a major watercolor painting.
・Selected for 4 years at the Japan Watercolor Federation.
Around the same time, she started taking care of her mother. Living with her mother was very refreshing and she felt more strongly about painting.
★ She mainly paints plants, landscapes and abstract paintings (gansai poster color and acrylic-gouache).
★The style of her paintings have not been decided.
Since most of her artworks emerge while painting, she does not make any drafts.
Also being a major plant lover, the feelings of compassion, vitality and beauty etc for plants are expressed in her artworks.
