Produktbeschreibung
Are you ready to pick up your spirits, feel joyful and maybe even chuckle? You really otter smile today! Otter Therapy is a masterfully done collection of Sea Otter art reimagined in famous paintings like Mona Lisa and Girl with a Pearl Earring, or as celebrities by acclaimed artist Edi Matsumoto. The paintings are perfectly paired with lighthearted otter jokes, otter fun facts, and related feel-good stories and inspirations. Edi Matsumoto is a Japan-born, California-based artist known for her realistic portraits and whimsical "Otter Therapy" series, which blends fine art with humor and heart. A former nurse practitioner turned full-time artist, Edi draws from her caregiving background to create joyful, healing works that make people smile. Her art has been featured in national publications and galleries, and in 2024, she opened her own studio-gallery in Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Autorenporträt
Edi was born and raised in Japan, surrounded by a family rich in artistic talent. Her maternal great-grandfather was a traditional Japanese artist, and creativity ran deep on her mother's side. Her grandfather was a printer who created his own illustrations, her uncle was a skilled leather craftsman, and her mother could draw and craft just about anything, including a remarkably realistic raccoon costume for her first-grade play. Like many Japanese children, Edi grew up reading and drawing cartoons, and her sister went on to become a cartoonist. But to her, art was always just a fun pastime, never something she considered as a career.Instead, Edi pursued academics, earning a bachelor's degree in anthropology and later a master's degree in nursing. She spent years in the medical field until her husband encouraged her to explore her artistic side more seriously. Looking back, she never imagined she would become an artist, let alone own her own gallery. But life has a way of leading us to where we're meant to be.
