ARTIST INFO

A piece for the true collector. This work is a limited edition lithograph, hand signed and labeled in pencil by the artist Sadako Mano. This is an opportunity to own a hand signed work by one of the great painters of animals and wildlife.

"Born and educated in Osaka, Japan, Sadako Mano came to the US as a war bride and later became a US citizen. She has studied extensively in various art fields which include oil painting, watercolors, charcoals, and mixed media. Sadako has been an art instructor at the Art League of Los Angeles, the Lemmon Tree Gallery, and the Sadako Mano Art Studio. Sadako's works have shown at one-woman shows at the Parkhurst Gallery, The Gallery aboard the Queen Mary, The Morro Bay Gallery, and many other fine art galleries.

Sadako Mano has many accomplishments. Her name appears in 'The World Who’s Who of Women,' 'American Artists of Renown,' and in the American Biographical Institute.

Many of her animal paintings have been reproduced in fine porcelain collector’s plates and have been distributed across the US and Canada. In addition, some of her paintings have been published as limited edition lithographs.

Sadako's animal portraits are done with both accuracy and love. Sadako once stated, 'Ever since I can remember I was very fond of all sorts of animals.' A few of her famous collectors are Lawrence Welk, Johnny Whitaker, Ben Johnson, and Mrs. Francis X. Bushman."
