Ann lives in a house surrounded by fields and overlooking Mount Akagi. When she was a child, she often painted figures with drawing paper and watercolors. At the age of 7, she was influenced by "Galaxy Express 999," and at 12 by Kenji Miyazawa's novels, and began to draw imaginary worlds. At the age of 15, she tried her hand at various genres, including Western-style sewing, Japanese-style sewing, embroidery, knitting, and three-dimensional works. During this period, she suffered from depression and panic disorder and could not paint for a long time, but she came back to painting again and began to paint the world of Maru, an imaginary planet far away from the galaxy, and the strange creatures that live there. Now he mainly combines minimal art and current affairs in his works. Using acrylic paints and pastels, she began painting wave-like and space-like worlds and planet-like spheres within them, subtly changing the size of the circles. Her world expanded further, and she began to call the space-like world the "circle world," and to draw the strange creatures that live there. The creatures that live in the world of circles are inspired by various current issues on the earth. Currently, she draws the world of circles and the creatures of the world of circles by pasting bandages on wooden panels to heal people's emotional wounds, and she also creates goods using the creatures of the world of circles as motifs.
