Kumiko Yoko Shibata

Oil painting artist in Kobe

  • 🇯🇵 Kobe, Hyogo, Japan
  • Ashford Print Workshop
  • Since 1995
  • English, Japanese
I work mostly in oil painting, sometimes textiles. My first show was in 1995 at Ashford Print Workshop, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog. Most of my work is inspired by folk tales I grew up with. I'm always reading two books at once. I'm still learning every day.

More about Kumiko

I've had 4 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.
What gifts mean to Kumiko: A gift would go toward materials for my next series.
