Bunny in Pinafore

"I've been always in love with cute little things so much. Drawing and making cute things are what I do for fun. But I never thought I could be an art toy sculptor. In 2014 I met a great chance to learn hand sculpting, mold making, and resin casting from an amazing toy designer and sculptor, Peter Kato. I had been trained as an apprentice under Peter Kato at Cortes Studio in Brooklyn. After that exciting seven months, I have been working on to embody my fondness for cuteness...
