I am a watercolour artist, painting original seascapes inspired by this beautiful island, which I turn into unique greeting cards.

Drawing from my connection to the natural environment, my creative process for textile design begins with the observation of patterns in the world around us—drawing inspiration from the ever-changing canvas of sand and sea, whether it's the sway of leaves in the trees or the intricate textures of coral reefs.

As a marine scientist, my art, "Island Gyotaku," merges my passion for ocean conservation with the ancient Gyotaku technique. Inspired by Japanese fishermen and European scientists, I create unique impressions of marine species on shoji paper.
