貼り絵-HARIE-

幼い頃から工作が好きで、貼り絵でプレゼントカードなどを作っていた。大学生の時に初めて貼り絵の本を作る。その後、貼り絵アーティストとして、カード、ポスター、デザインなどを手がける。
また、幼い頃から子供が大好きで、自分が少し長く生きているお姉さんとして出来る事はないかと探し始める。１年間の留学経験を生かし、日本で４年間子供から大人までの英語講師を務め、２０１０年には英語とアートをコラボしたEnglish&Art classを独自で始める。そのほかキャンプのスタッフなど、様々なボランティア活動にも参加。今後も日本のみならず世界中の子供達のサポートをしていきたい。
Drawing and making crafts have always been my big interests since I was a child. I started paper-making when I was a high school student. As I enjoy making pop-up cards for my friends as a gift, I became interested in pursuing my career as a Harie-artist. I made my first pop-up picture book when I was a college student. Since then, I’ve been given the opportunities to design cards, a cover of books and posters.
Working with children is another important factor in my career. I have been asking myself what I can offer children (not as a teacher but) as someone just a few years older than them.
After one year English study in Canada, I became a teacher in a private English school, and there I worked with children for 4 years. In addition, I started my own “English & Art class” in 2010 since I like both children and arts. Also, I’ve engaged in a summer camp and a day camp as a staff member and some more volunteer works to support children. I would love to continue supporting children not only in Japan but all around world in many ways in my future.
