PROFILE
プロフィールDonna is a self-taught illustrator born on a small island in the Philippines and currently based in Osaka. Her love for Japan began in childhood, sparked by memories of running through the streets of Tokyo with her cousin.
Deeply fascinated by human nature and its quiet interactions with reality, Donna draws inspiration from both observation and nostalgia. Each drawing reflects a moment of observation—snapshots of her surroundings infused with echoes of childhood memories.
Through her art, Donna explores what it means to be happy, and how people process even the simplest moments of connection. Her illustrations reveal a gentle love for the everyday—quiet, fleeting, but deeply human.
