Shigemi Nakamura-Simms

Shigemi Nakamura-Simms constantly drew pictures from a young age. After overcoming her parents’ objections, she went to a high school specialising in arts and studied graphics at an art college. After graduation, she worked for eight years as an editorial designer at Magazine House in Japan, first for ‘Brutus’ and then for ‘Olive’. Unable to give up her childhood dream, she moved to the United Kingdom to study fine art again. She moved to Australia when she married and was busy raising her children, but now that they are grown, she continues to pursue her arts practice, while working as a graphic designer.
