Illustration is actually her second career, as she prefers to make teaching the arts her practical career.
The text below this line, is an excerpt from her Webpage, on a very important, and influential part in her life.

"Yuko ended up working the corporate job for 11 years, so she could figure out what she really wanted in life, as well as to save up just enough to play a biggest gamble of her life: She moved to New York City in 1999, where she briefly spent her childhood, to study art for the first time. Yuko graduated with MFA from SVA’s Illustration as Visual Essay Program in 2003 and  has been illustrating since.  She has also been teaching the next generation of talents at the alma mater."
