Yukiko Fujimaki

Yukiko Fujimaki was born in the countryside of Nagano Prefecture, and grew up
surrounded by nature. Her younger self believed that everything was alive with mysteriously invisible energies and strong messages – like fairies and gods – and loved drawing while imagining them. Despite family matters leading her to becoming a chef, she was able to study at an art school later on in life. Since then, she has been expressing her artistic abilities through cooking and painting. She opened her own restaurant, and has set up a gallery for her artworks in it. Her mission is to express the excitement and sparkling feelings that everyone felt when they were young. Isn’t it wonderful that a dream can be found in a petal of a flower, growing on the street? Don’t you feel happy when love is overflowing in the sunshine of spring or in the wind? She continues drawing while looking at the world with such thoughts.
