I'm a Finnish-German artist, illustrator and dressmaker living in Turku, Finland. I have a great passion for nature which reflects strongly in my work. I focus mainly on traditional methods of painting, specializing in watercolours of flora and fauna. In my work I want to highlight the importance of all creatures and plants, also ones not traditionally considered attractive.

 

My style is influenced by traditional botanical illustrations and vintage educational school boards.

I live together with one human, two cats, two rabbits and a hundred or so houseplants.
