SHIRO is a female graffiti artist from Japan. She began painting in 1998 in Shizuoka, Japan. Shiro's colorful artwork is a reflection of her love for true hip-hop. Over the years she has been touched by the essence & soul of hip-hop culture and old school graffiti styles. She has performed in various live painting events, participated in gallery art shows and been a part of graffiti crew gatherings in both New York and Japan. For three years in a row, she also participated in community awareness murals and other large-scale graffiti projects all over New York City and Japan. In Japan, Shiro has worked with people in the hip-hop industry, organizing graffiti shows and live painting events in her hometown of Shizuoka and participating in painting events in surrounding areas. In addition to her murals, she has worked on canvases, illustrations, and has designed and produced original theater stage decorations. All of these things combine to create a unique individual with a talented gift for creative expression. Her own characters are just like the other herself. She says..." I wanna grow up with my characters in my whole life..."
