Hello Matsumoto fans,
\nHow are you doing?<\/p>\n

May has been a very busy month for me, but I had the chance to visit an exhibition at Shinano Gallery.
\nShinano Gallery is a space next to an art shop on the main street in front of the station.<\/p>\n

It frequently hosts exhibitions so it is likely that you will find one when you visit.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of May I visited Aoi Neko’s exhibition.<\/p>\n

She is a young artist who lives in Matsumoto.
\nShe keeps a rescued cat who is the inspiration for her art and raises funds for cat shelters (she made a charity calendar as well)<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures:<\/p>\n

I bought a post card as souvenir, she drew that picture when she was 20 and was confused about the future but decided to feel hopeful.
\nPlease check out her art online<\/p>\n
