Midori Harada.

Midori Harada (Japanese: 原田みどり Harada Midori) is an artist for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. She has done work for various Pokémon materials and merchandise since 1996, but she began illustrating cards for the TCG later in the series, from about 2002 onward.

She is known for her style, called Aire Verte, of calm European landscapes. This is carried over for the official Hoenn, Battle Frontier, Sinnoh, and updated Kanto and Johto maps seen in guidebooks.
