Utako Kikutani x
Born in Japan, Kikutani spent her childhood in Kenya and Tanzania, where she became fascinated by and began to draw African wildlife. Ten years later, as she was about to complete a doctorate in Zoology at the University of Tokyo, Kikutani read an article about the GNSI and realized that, for her, the "ideal work" would combine her interests in Biology and drawing. A year later, she enrolled in the Scientific illustration program at the University of California, Santa Cruz. After several years freelancing in the New York City area, she is now based on Japan for Zoological and Biological projects.
