✮ Shimada Neko

SHIMADANEKO was born in Osaka, Japan 🇯🇵
She graduated from the Department of Human Sciences at Konan University. At one point of her life, she fell in love with a cat and started illustrating a slightly strange world with cats as the main subjects. Active since 2016, she has exhibited at Marugoto Cat Festival (Kobe) in August 2019, Daegu Art Fair 2019 (Korea), in KAWAII Thumb-hole Spring Exhibition (Osaka) in January 2020, Exhibition for a Bright Future (Osaka) in January 2020 and more. She mainly uses watercolor, but there are times when she uses oil paints, depending on the worldview she wants to express. Her style creates the same sensation as a scene in a story book. She hopes for people to feel the small and quiet story being told by her works.
