Born in Brazil, 1979. She is a Japanese-Brazilian artist who lives and works between Brazil and France. She holds a fine arts degree from the Faculty of Arts of Parana, Brazil, and a Master of Visual Arts from Nihon University in Japan, where she lived for almost 10 years. Her poetic compositions explore the essence of Japanese traditional culture in a range of mixed-media techniques, including paper, canvas, sculpture, and installation.

"This time spent abroad, in her words, became the foundation of her artistic production and investigation - aspects of traditional Japanese art and culture are central to her work. She begins with drawings, the word and everything that involves this universe: the written, oral, pictorial, literary words and symbols. Poems and personal investigations are used repeatedly in pictorial diaries, the word functions as her contact with the audience and as an instrument for self-reflection. Her works display inquiries into concepts like identity, hybridism, ethnic origins, mother language and cultural boundaries – issues discussed in Brazil and abroad."
