Natsuki, Azuma was born in Japan and had a dream of becoming a painter at the age of 6. However, he gave up at the age of 15 because he lacked confidence in his work. Nearly 40 years later, when he had the opportunity to be involved in art again, he recalled his passion for painting. She taught herself to arrange techniques from early childhood education, and while pursuing limitless expressiveness and one-of-a-kind works of art, she remembered the sensitivity she had had as a child while creating artwork with the themes of "freedom," "love," and "life. This experience led her to feel that the greatest artist for her is the child. She hopes that her works, which she draws freely like a child, can be imagined by viewers with a childlike mind and a free perspective. The nature of Hokkaido gives life to her works. There are always facts to be learned from her paintings. Colorful and variously shaped parts represent "diversity," the way colors are combined represents "coexistence" and "co-prosperity," she acknowledges and respects differences with others, but also conveys her own opinions. The process of creating her works is also a pursuit of her identity as a Japanese person.
