MICHELLE YAMAMOTO – Fine Art · Giclees · Commissions

If a living stream were to be mapped, joyful in its contemplation, winding in its journey, it would resemble the career of Michelle Yamamoto. Her globe-spanning experiences as a freelance art director, illustrator and Portrait artist have cultivated a world's eye view on how to communicate marketing objectives with intelligent, vibrant design. Michelle brings a rich background of expertise to her creations of specialized illustrations and graphic design solutions for her clients.

As though years were a world-wide currency, she has spent fifteen across Canada and Asia and her investment has yielded a cross-cultural lexicon of visual prowess, stirring sensitivities and mindful conception. The name Yinspiration ghosted through her half-asleep mind in the middle of the night. The fusion felt like the perfect word, merging both her creativity and her deep respect for Asian cultures.
