After working as a nurse in Japan over 10 years, her relocation began to UK, several cities in the US.

Taiko’s work has been exhibited in Colorado (including solo exhibitions at Littleton Museum, Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, and Denver Botanic Gardens) and other states and numerous print fairs throughout the U.S. Her work is part of private and public collections in the U.S. and Japan, including the Cleveland Clinic Art Program, University of Colorado Denver Business school, and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (NY).
