Mari Ueda
Freelance illustrator living in Asahikawa, Hokkaido,Japan.
I draw relaxed illustrations with a theme of familiar feelings felt in daily life. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher. Then, due to a change in lifestyle, I became an illustrator. I currently work from my home and atelier in a corner of Asahikawa. I also hold events and workshops.
