Aoki Leigh Saddler
My name is Aoki Leigh Saddler, and I like to draw cartoons in an anime style. I started drawing when I was four years old, and when I was seven I began drawing in my art class with my teacher.  I have been practicing drawing characters in high school, and I won an art competition. I will continue to draw characters until I am fully grown because I was always good.  

About 'Anastasia' the manga: 
Anastasia is from Canada. Her cat is Mr Tibbles and she has to take  him to the vet with her family. Mr Tibbles is based on my own cat,  Morgan.

Aoki is our third resident, currently working with the museum. For her residency, Aoki is creating a new manga comic called ‘Anastasia’. A page from ‘Anastasia’ was displayed as part of our major 2025 exhibition Cats in Cartoons.
