Unexpected Reaction to my drawings

I resumed drawing last summer. Since I’m busy with work, I can’t spend much time on it, but I still want to create. So, I started using Adobe Illustrator to draw.
It seems that Illustrator is often called “Illare.” I didn’t know that…
I actually learned how to use this software years ago while studying abroad in London. Back then, I used to draw in London. Being away from Japan gave me a sense of freedom, which made it easier to come up with ideas, so I created several pieces.
Yes, I need to feel that sense of freedom to draw… That’s why, whenever I have time, I take a moment to calm my mind and create.
As I continued drawing, my collection of artworks grew. Wondering what to do with them, my twin sister and I decided to display them at a gallery near a station. She is also an artist—on top of that, she composes and performs music. Amazing!
Many visitors to the gallery said that my work brought them a sense of peace. Some even expressed their gratitude, which made me incredibly happy❣️ Perhaps they came at just the right time—after a hospital visit, after studying—when they needed a moment to relax and feel comforted.
The exhibition is being held at the gallery in Honjin Station on the Nagoya City Subway Higashiyama Line until the morning of Monday the 17th.
It’s just two stops from Nagoya Station by subway.
I’d love for you to stop by! 😀
If you travel in Japan, that would be nice to visit it.

I want a lot of people from overseas to see my works.
