Hello lovely people, I'm Naoko Sho, an illustrator based in Taichung City, Taiwan.
I used to work as a Chinese medicine physician, however I'm taking a year off in 2023 to reset my life and draw as much as possible to answer my inner calling. I find happiness in drawing what I love and what I see in my everyday life. I've fallen in love with gardening this year since I now stay at home a lot. I've slowly built my garden with resources I found second hand and locally. This also leads to my enthusiasm in thrifting and up-cycling, using what once owned and repurposing things that already exist brings me great satisfaction and joy.
I started my drawing journey with #100dayproject from the summer of 2022 for a self healing purpose, I carried a sketchbook everyday and draw whenever I could even between clinic hours. You can watch my 100 day documentation reels here.
I'm currently open for commissions for wedding and children portraits!
