About ME

It is said that Norwegians are born with skis on their feet. In 1973 they were out of skis.
I got a pencil instead and started to draw immediately.  

At university I studied Fine Art, then Graphic Design and about the same time I fell in
love with photography, expresso and Rui (my husband).

My first job was as a school book designer in Oxford (UK). The school books were full of pictures. And someone were drawing them. I though they must have the best job in the world.

We lived in Portugal for 12 years where I worked as a designer and studied illustration.
The opportunity to illustrate a children´s book came along ("O descobridor de histórias"). I was completely hooked from page one and have been working as a full-time illustrator ever since.

We now live in Norway. My pictures have been used in advertising and magazines and I have designed and illustrated many books for children. Storytelling is my passion and whatever the project I always aim to to make every image better than the last.

My BIG dream has always been to both write and illustrate my own stories. In 2018 my first book “Dukketyven” was published by Cappelen Damm. “Heldiggrisen” arrived on the shelves in autumn 2020. My dream came through and I can hereby confirm that this IS the best job in the world!
