Original gestural illustration on arches by the Tampa based artist Yuki Osada.
Yuki Osada spent her very early years of life living, playing, and learning to draw in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan. Her artistic inspiration came from the carefully crafted, cute, and colorful world of anime cartoons. At the age of 8, her family moved to the US where one of the first of many cultural shocks came by way of the Simpsons cartoon.
Yuki attended the Parsons School of Art in New York majoring in fashion illustration with a minor in animation. Her passion was fashion and textile designs of the 1950s and 1960s and began work after her schooling as a textile designer. She's recently moved to SW Florida and is working as a freelance designer and artist.
