Edi Matsumoto was born and raised in Japan. Her maternal great-grandfather was a traditional Japanese artist who painted birds, flowers, and snow-capped mountains using an ink brush technique. She grew up in an environment where art was valued. Her interest in art was cultivated at an early age.
 
Edi Matsumoto holds a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Tsukuba University in Japan. After traveling around Southeast Asia exploring cultures and volunteering at the Mother Theresa’s Home for the Dying Destitutes in Calcutta, India, she came to the U.S. She earned a Master's degree in Nursing, and she has been working in the healthcare field for over 25 years.
 
Encouraged by her family, Matsumoto began taking art classes at a community college. In 2018, she earned her second Master's degree in Fine Art from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
 
Matsumoto’s work has won awards and has been shown at galleries and museums locally, nationally and internationally including the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, the Triton Museum of Arts in Santa Clara, and Pacific Grove Art Center among others. 
 
Matsumoto plans to continue working in the healthcare field because she enjoys what she does and feels that she contributes to society. However, she discovered the joyful fulfillment of painting, and she intends to become a full-time artist, pursuing her interest in portraits, figures, and other domains. She hopes to contribute to the world in a different manner.

Matsumoto is a member with distinction at American Women Artists. 
 
Her additional work can be seen on her website www.EdiMatsumoto.com.
