Hello! I'm Maiko.

I'm a picture book artist/illustrator/portrait artist/handicraft artist/DTP designer.

I was born and raised in Tokyo, then lived my entire teen years in Sydney. Now I'm based in Tokyo.

My art style is lifelike and romantic, depicted in soft colours and organic strokes. I hope my art speaks to the calm in the audience’s heart.
