but I was trained as a fine arts artist, etching, lithography, photography and wood block engraving.
I created this website so you can have better overview of the illustrations I have made. I am a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. The home page shows different styles and characters. I can draw anything you can imagine, because when you talk to me, i see what you're saying. ( but with a twist) I like clean and minimal backgrounds. The character is the centerpiece, unless the background shares the attention. I create my characters first as a line drawing and keep working on it till the shape and expressions are what I want. Then comes the fun part: color and texture and details that emphasizes its personality. Each character has it's own story to tell and I love it. I also make hand painted Lazy Susans and wooden pull puppets. The link to my shop is at the bottom of my greeting card pages. Thank you Sincerely hilde |
