Connecting You to a World of Illustration
Exclusively contracted to represent:
Momo Sugimoto
Buckle up because your imagination is about to take flight – inspired by illustrations created by the Australia-based children’s artist Momo Sugimoto. Flying chairs, dancing clocks, midnight choruses of cats and dogs and a dragon who sleeps on the moon are all here in her portfolio, enticing young minds away into worlds of adventure.
Self-motivated and self-taught, Momo has a talent for crafting gentle, inviting environments that feel real and lived-in, using light and colour to create an atmosphere not dissimilar to stepping into a hobbit hole with Bilbo Baggins for the first time. Indeed, Momo’s inspiration ranges from Tolkien artwork through to Miyazaki, Magritte, Hopper and Kandinsky.
Communication and creativity are major themes in Momo’s life, which run deeper than yet underpin her talent as an illustrator. Born in Japan, she’s travelled the world and has a degree in modern languages. Plus, she’s a skilled musician with a further degree in classical music. Maybe this is why her illustrations don’t just speak to us – they sing, dance and take us away to another place.
