I’m a half Finnish, half English illustrator and print maker with a love for nature and folklore. Many a childhood summer was spent in Finland. Family trips beyond the Arctic Circle, camping in the nightless Lapland wilderness, hold some of my most treasured memories. The forests, lakes and wildlife of the region remains a constant inspiration. My personal work infuses nature, childhood memories and my love of storytelling and folklore.
I graduated with a BA Hons in Illustration from the University of Brighton in July 2005.
In 2006 my work was spotted by British band Keane which led to a collaboration on their second million selling album 'Under the Iron Sea.' London based creative agency, Big Active, art directed the campaign and at the same time took me on their books as one of their select number of represented artists. My client list includes; Universal Island Records, British Vogue, Apple/itunes, M&S and Marimekko. Alongside commissioned work I have my own company developing my brand of self-styled products.
I'm currently expanding my product range from limited edition prints on paper to printed textiles, wooden products and jewellery. I'm also working on my first children's picture book.
