SOUTHWOOD STYLE JOURNAL

• September 25, 2019 Current Converstation | Painter and Illustrator Aki Yaguchi
  Aki we are so happy that the Southwood wall now has your beautiful illustrations on it! We love it and so does the rest of Napier Street – so many people have stopped to take photos and comment on it. It’s the perfect fit for our store and the Fitzroy neighbourhood. We would love to chat about your art with you. So, let’s go to the beginning of your story- you were born in Japan and then came to the Gold Coast with your family when you were a wee two-year-old. Do you think your upbringing and surroundings have influenced and/or inspired your work?
