Artist Daniel Mitsui specializes in ink drawing. His meticulously detailed creations--created entirely by hand on paper or vellum--are held in collections worldwide. Since his baptism into the Catholic Church in 2004, he has focused most of his art on religious subjects. Mitsui is a 2004 graduate of Dartmouth College, where he studied drawing, oil painting, etching, lithography, wood carving, bookbinding, and film animation. The Vatican commissioned Mitsui to illustrate a new edition of the Roman Pontifical in 2011. In 2012, he established Millefleur Press, an imprint for publishing fine books and broadsides of his artwork and typography. He is a prolific designer of custom bookplates. He has two other adult coloring books with Ave Maria Press, The Mysteries of the Rosary and The Saints . Mitsui recently began research on what he calls the Summula Pictoria , an iconographic summary of the Old and New Testaments--a project that will ultimately take him more than a decade to complete. Born in Georgia and raised in Illinois, Mitsui lives in Chicago with his wife, Michelle, and their four children. See less
