Hi! I’m Muriel (Mingxi) Xu, I’m a New York-based illustrator born in Shanghai, China. I graduated from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in 2026 with a BFA in Illustration. My work focuses on fantasy, folklore, mythology, nature, emotion, and narrative-driven imagery, blending traditional painting aesthetics with digital techniques.
