Available to hire
I am a visual artist and children’s book illustrator based in Helsinki, Finland. With over a decade of experience in visual storytelling and art education, I focus on bringing emotional depth and narrative sensitivity into my illustrations. I work with both traditional techniques—such as pencil drawing and etching—and digital tools to create expressive characters and scenes that resonate with young readers. My artistic journey has taken me across Europe through various collaborative exhibition projects. In my work, I explore human relationships, cultural values, and the stories that connect us.
