After the solo exhibition.

With Matsudo City’s support, a two-month exhibition of lions alone came to a good close.

It was thanks to everyone’s help. My deep thanks to the Matsudo City curators.

Extra | a short history of the lion works

I was born in August. I’m a Leo.

So I’ve painted many lions as a kind of self-portrait.

I started with pen, and with watercolor.

Here’s a small window into an earlier infinity artist NAO — one you may not know.

infinity artist NAO

“Infinity” NAO takes her name from her birth month, August — the number 8 and the infinity mark. A Leo, she uses the lion as her emblem. In Hawaiian, leo means “voice” or “message.” She paints to deliver a message from the soul.
