Her still life artworks were on the cover and were featured in "Pratique des Arts" of France and were finalists in "International Artist Magazine," receiving high acclaim. Chihiro's artwork covers a wide range of subjects, including florals, still life, wildlife, landscapes, and cityscapes. As a Brand Ambassador for Daniel Smith, she shared her expertise by teaching watercolor workshops in Seattle. Personal fulfillment is an essential part of her art, and she aims to bring comfort and peace to viewers worldwide through her paintings. Residing in Juneau, Alaska, she finds inspiration in the enchanting beauty of the region's rainforests and mountains, which she captures in her art.
