Miki Nozomi is a professional artist and illustrator, based in Auckland, working in graphite, ink and digital illustration. Her works have a focus on portrait, figure and object; depicting modern women and how it feels to be one, in all its awe and woe.

The works teeter on life-like to remain un-photoshopped, un-airbrushed depictions of the women we know. Miki's work has been recognized with multiple awards including the Waitakere Trusts Art Awards (First Prize 2022, 2024, Second Prize 2023), Franklins Arts Festival (First Prize 2022) and a shortlist for the Molly Morpeth Canaday Awards. Her solo exhibition “Satisfaction Brought It Back” was held in Tokyo in November 2024, following her 2022 solo “Unframed and Unashamed” in Matakana, Auckland.
