"I like to infuse universality into the individuals in my work so that audiences can project their own feelings." Using sophisticated images, Ms. Mitsumi's illustrations evoke a cinematic approach, in which each protagonist conveys intricate emotions yet addresses the audience serenely. Her works are the result of an elaborate process that begins with painting acrylic on canvas, scanning the painting, and finishing up digitally. She has collaborated with various clientele in editorial, broadcasting, IT, and advertising for major corporations. Her illustrations were selected by Illustration Now!(published by TASCHEN, editor: Julius Wiedemann) which showcases commercial and editorial illustrators from over fifty countries.
