The San Francisco Bay Area inspires Mijin with the amazing variety of architecture and different city moods with the light and the unique setting. The place gives her good memory with the place's vibe and a view that harmonizes buildings with nature. Her paintings are created as representational urban landscapes and driven by composition, color, and atmosphere. Among them, She tends to spend more time on composition because, with good design, the following work process tends to flow smoothly.​
