Information about the artist / the group

I am a visual artist working with illustration, animation, and photography. My personal work explores connections between nature and humans, conscious consumption, feminism, and migration, inspired by the diversity of people and nature. With over 12 years of freelance experience, I have created visuals for concerts, festivals, bands, writers, and brands, including prints, posters, book covers, animation, and murals. I volunteer as an illustrator for CreativeMornings Helsinki. In 2024–2025, I held solo exhibitions Southern Souls Living North at Globe Art Point and Entresse Library, participated in art events in Helsinki and Turku, and completed projects for Helen and Arts Promotion Centre Taike.

Program during Konstrundan

During Konstrundan, I plan to present my artworks, some of which will be available for purchase. I will also spend time talking with visitors over tea or coffee, answering their questions, and demonstrating my creative process on a tablet using Procreate.
