Illustrations, storyteling and play

Storytelling

As a visual storyteller, I find it important to leave space for the reader to ponder and think. I believe that picture books can tackle even the most difficult topics. As such, they are both for kids as well as for adults. I think of a book as a fine instrument. It is art to make it, but it comes to life really in the hands and hearts of its readers. My first book was a collaborative adventure and it was published in 2011 with a second book in the series that received the prestigious The White Ravens -label. Since then 14 books have followed, and many of them are translated and published around the world amongst the countries are Spain, Poland, North America, Japan, China, Korea…

Playing & workshops

Play and playfulness is a central element in my work. So often an underestimated notion, playing is essential in exploring, understanding and learning one’s self and surrounding. Through my work I invite people to play again, and remember the enthusiasm with what they observed things when they were children. In the past 15 years I have developed and held workshops for children and adults in collaboration with other artists and illustrators.
