A new rising artist, Sumi Oh (ARISOL) is a Korean illustrator based in Seoul, South Korea. 


After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Illustration in the School of Visual Arts in New York, ARISOL studied for a Master of Arts in Children's Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London. She has participated in several group art exhibitions and fairs, including in Seoul, New York, and Osaka. Her work 'Walking with Birds at the Park' has been selected for longlisted in the AOI(Association of Illustrators) Exploration category in 2022

일상 속 넘실거리는 상상을 그리는 아티스트 ARISOL (오수미) 입니다. 뉴욕에 위치한 School of Visual Arts, BFA Illustration을 2020년에 졸업하고, 런던 골드스미스에서 석사과정: 어린이 교육, 책 일러스트레이션을 공부하였습니다.  무한한 상상의 시각화와 전달의 매력에 빠진 저는 꿈과 상상을 기반으로 글을 쓰고, 이야기 속 기억에 남았던 장면과 감정을 그려내어 탄탄한 스토리텔링을 가진 그림을 그립니다.
