Biography

 

Masako was born in the west of Kyushu region Japan. The natural scenery around her was always magnificent and limitless, stimulating her five senses as the core of her production of paintings.

 

She realized her passion for paintings in early teenage and developed her interest in learning the meaning of colors in the exchange year in USA. It took no time to express herself in abstract paintings while learning at Academy of Art University in San Francisco. She also deeply found her sense of Japanese beauty by studying at Kyoto Art University.


She’s been based in NYC since 2019, her works have been selected by juried exhibitions and curated in contemporary galleries. Also, her paintings are featured in public collections in Japan.
