About Me:

I live in Kungsbacka, Sweden and paint as soon as I get the chance, alongside my engineering job, dog and house renovation. Painting calms my mind and what ends up on the paper is usually something colourful, happy and cute. I paint everything the old fashioned way with paper, brushes and watercolor paint.

You can see my designs as pure children's illustrations, but for me they are creations that should be able to give everyone a little glimmer of light in everyday life. Unfortunately, both mine and many others' lives are bordered by some anxiety, so having something that reminds you of the good things in life is sometimes necessary. Sometimes you just need that little extra push and then a picture of a cute giraffe or a crazy jumping woman can come in handy!
