KANA is a Tokyo born artist, now based in New York. Under the strict guidance of her parents in Japan, she was poised to become a doctor. However their marriage dissolved when she was 15 years old and with it, so did their family tree, her sense of direction, and plans for the future. It was difficult for her to express her feelings with words and she discovered the language of art to convey the world as she sees it. After high school, she moved to NY and attended the School of Visual Arts for Graphic Design.

In August 2019, she held the first solo exhibition in Shibuya-city, Tokyo.See less
