Hello, and welcome to my website. My name is Fumiko Hidaka, mother, artist, writer, publisher and retired vascular technologist. I was born and raised in Miyazaki, Japan and moved to the United States in 1986. I moved from Seattle, Washington to Jacksonville, Florida after my retirement in 2022. This fresh new chapter of my life has allowed me to focus on my passion for creative writing and drawing full-time. I create freehand digital drawings on a 24 inch touch screen (Surface Studio). My motifs of cats, yoga, dance, vespas and roller skating invite a diverse audience into my world. I often draw without prior thinking, and discover where I am going from there. It has been so much fun being a vendor at Riverside Arts Market(RAM). Seeing the smiles of people looking at my art, and the joy of sharing some of my babies (my art) that get to go to new homes is such a gift!
Thank you so much for visiting my booth at RAM.
In 2025, I will be at RAM on September 13th, November 29th and December 20th. Hope to see you there!
Prior to my retirement, I filled my time in the United States taking college courses and progressing to a point of understanding how to speak and write English fluently. Thereafter, I earned my Bachelor's of Science specializing Vascular Technology (non-invasive ultrasound diagnostic technology) at Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls, Oregon. My career as a Vascular Technologist lasted 23 years in Seattle, Washington. Even during these busy years of working and raising a child, in my spare time I consistently acted on my love for the artistic expression of drawing using various mediums. I often created specific pieces for family and friends or just for myself.

I found her cross the street from my house in June. She was crying with her eyes infected. She was so small weighed only 11oz. I took her to a veterinarian and took care of her. I named her JuneJune cause she came to me in June. When she completed her 10 day antibiotic treatment, I hoped that stray cats I've been feeding would adapt her. One of stray cats is named Hime and she has one of her kittens, Baby. It broke my heart when Hime rejected JuneJune. I couldn't keep JuneJune cause I have an indoor rabbit named Brock-Boo (someone left this rabbit in our yard last year). Anyway, I had to take JuneJune to Humane Society. JuneJune is very strong, smart and cute. I'm sure JuneJune will be adapted by a loving family. I treasures those 12 days with JuneJune. This is a story behind this pierce.
