I'm a freelancing Artist, Illustrator and Animator. I live in an old house in the northern peninsula just outside Gothenburg, Sweden with my husband, two daughters and a very happy black labrador.
I have a BA in Computer Science from Lund University and a MA of Arts in Design for Interactive Media at Middlesex University. After Middlesex, I worked as a web developer and web designer for a few years in London before undertaking a PG Certificate in Animation from London Animation Studio where I graduated in 2003.
I have been a freelancer ever since, with exception for a few years as an Art Director at HIQ Gothenburg where I worked for clients such as Volvo, SCA, Wellspect and Trelleborg AB.
As an Artist, I do a lot of my work by hand. I paint watercolours, make large ink drawings and create prints by carving rubber. I run a web shop on Etsy where I sell my work, but I also do illustrative and 2D animation work for clients. Besides working by hand I also paint and design a lot digitally.
I am based in Sweden, but I do have clients all over the world, so don't hesitate to contact me if you have a project in mind.
