We wanted to know what drew Mori to the world of artistry. She shared: “When the COVID-19 pandemic began, my working hours were reduced. Since I’m not very good at doing nothing, I started drawing my cat—one illustration a day. I continued this for about three years, posting a new drawing on Instagram every day.”
As for the essence behind her illustrations, Mori commented: “If you love cats, I think you’ll relate to and enjoy my work. Since I started drawing as a hobby, I only want to draw what I love—and that means cats.”
We also asked Mori to share a little about her creative process. She wrote: “I get inspired whenever I look at my cat or come across a cute cat photo online. I also enjoy drawing short comics and memes. I don’t work digitally—I use only oil pastels and colored pencils.”
Mori shared her hopes for the audience’s takeaway when it comes to her art.
“I hope people feel a sense of warmth and joy when they see my drawings—like a small moment of comfort in their day.”
Lastly, the artist added, “If my cute cat illustrations can bring a smile to your face, that would make me very happy.”
