ABOUT
Hi, I’m Haru Oh, an illustrator based in Busan, South Korea. I create quiet, atmospheric scenes inspired by everyday surroundings, especially homes, trees, and animals.
Since completing my MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art in 2024, I have focused on capturing a feeling of serenity through gentle light and balanced composition. My work is deeply rooted in a palette inspired by the colors of autumn, translating the world into geometric, simplified forms and peaceful stillness.
I’m always open to new freelance opportunities and collaborations.
