Children’s Illustration

Connecting Kids

“I would like to make a film to tell children ‘it's good to be alive’.”
- Hayao Miyazaki

Life is worth living. It is difficult, but the connections we can have with each other make it worth living.

Family Portraits

Connecting Families

Distance, time, and death separate us. My portraits, which often feature those who have passed on, grown old, or moved away, help each family feel close again, gathered symbolically to their loved ones. We are all a part of one big family.

Travel Landscapes

Connecting the World

Discover life through simple moments painted in locations around the globe.

Light is the source of life. I try to capture the light, foliage, and natural markers of Japan and America in this collection.
