While studying, she experienced the deep healing power of the beauty and vitality of fresh greenery, which led to her creative activities around the theme of leaves. She encountered tempera painting in 1991 that allowed her to capture them in greater detail and develop her current creative style where she paints leaves life-size as she sees them. In 2019, she won Best Botanical Art Exhibit at the RHS London Botanical Art and Photography Show for her work The Life Cycle of the Shimonita Welsh Onion. Gumma is also the author of Koto no Ha ? Happa Goyomi (leaves and words - a leaf diary ? published by Keyaki Shuppan) Konoha no Bijutsukan* (the art gallery of tree leaves), Kinomi no Hoseki-bako* (jewel box of nuts and berries), Gairoju - Happa no Uta* (roadside trees - leaf poetry) (*all three titles by Sekai Bunka Publishing Inc.).
