Yuri Shimojo is a Tokyo-born, contemporary Japanese painter who lives and works between New York and Kyoto. In her youth, she practiced the Japanese traditional performing arts for 20 years as the tradition of her samurai lineage. She also spent many years between Hawaii and Brooklyn. These experiences between cultures have influenced her work throughout her life and continue to bring new sources of inspiration today.
