Artist Profile

Introduced on a young age in the fine arts by their parents with the beauty of music, Kasumi started a long term relationship with their chosen instrument, the piano, which was the one that made them well know in their own city for playing. Kasumi felt like they were meant for something more than just the music, this being the visual arts, such as painting. Even with that, went to a lot more of activities like, studying new languages, dance, as well with the academical studies.

Over the years, they discovered the world of "Anime and Manga" becoming quickly one of their first tier interests, starting to watch and draw their favorite series and developing an interest to make and write their own stories and characters from their appearance to even their psychological little traits that can come unnoticeable at plain sight.
