1976年生まれ。福岡県在住。 幼児の頃から色に敏感で塗り絵に対する興味が大きかった。高校卒業後、就職した生花店の店長に贈られたクレヨンで18歳から絵を描き始める。その後水彩画を学び、風景や花を描き続ける。地元で数々の賞を受賞し、2006年にはオリジナルギャラリー「森の由佳ギャラリー」を開設。 Yuka Matsuo was born in 1976 and lives in Fukuoka Prefecture. Yuka showed keen sensibilities towards colors at an early age and coloring books were her favorite activities. At her first job after graduating from high school, her then employer at a flower shop gave her a set of crayons and Yuka began drawing at age 18. She subsequently learned water color and Yuka has been painting flowers and landscapes. Yuka has won many awards in Fukuoka and opened her own gallery “Mori-no-Yuka” in 2006.
