Information about the artist / the group

Hannamari is a children's books illustrator. She has illustrated ca 50 picture books since 2007, 13 of which he also wrote. Hannamari creates her exciting colours using ordinary color pencils and collage technique - paper, scissors and glue. "I want children to recognize the technique used in the illustrations. Shadows and scissor marks in collage and pencil marks in the illustrations bring the child closer to the play of creation." Hannamari has worked with the biggest Finnish publishing houses and participated in several illustration exhibitions around the world. "I don't think about the opinions of adults when making illustrations. I want to tell of my thoughts to the children."

Program during Konstrundan

I’m in Lotta Jansdotter’s entryway with a collection of illustrations for picture books. I’m happy to talk about my thoughts behind the books and the images. There are also illustrations and picture books (in Finnish) for sale. I also draw portrait illustrations of brought-along stuffed animals for a small fee — so you can see how I work with colored pencils. Together with the artist Lotta Jansdotter, I’ll be offering some treats.
