Ayako Edamura (エダムラ アヤコ)

Ayako has participated in and received awards at numerous exhibitions in Japan.
She came to love drawing in the 6th grade of elementary school when she was in an arts and crafts class. It was her first experience to have a clear image of the work before drawing, to be satisfied with the quality of it, and to be praised by the teacher.
She hopes to be able to paint better pictures that will touch people's hearts in the future. She also wants to continue to challenge herself in public exhibitions and further improve her skills.
