Sachiko Purser
Sachiko Purser’s work is inspired by nature, narratives and nostalgia. It explores the impact of the current environment of the natural world.
Her series of work Endangered Species seeks to raise awareness of the wave of extinction in the natural world by creating images of vanishing animals and birds, communicating important environmental issues to the viewer.
Sachiko is donating 50 per cent profit from sales in this project to animal and bird conservation groups.
Sachiko Purser graduated with a BA in Illustration from Cambridge School of Art in 2012. She subsequently went on to complete an MA in Children’s Book Illustration in 2015 and an MA in Printmaking in 2022.
She is passionate about nature and the environment, especially the welfare of animals. She combines traditional techniques such as Japanese woodblock and Sumi ink painting with a contemporary perspective in printmaking and digital techniques to create a mix cultural and organic-technological hybrids.
Her project “Endangered Species” was selected for the 2025 and 2026 editions of the Discerning Eye Exhibition in London, shortlisted for the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation’s “Wildlife Artist of the Year 2022,” and long-listed for the “World Illustration Awards.”
