Beneath the Tree Pop and Slot Diorama

I’m a freelance illustrator from Istra, a beautiful peninsula in Croatia, where I live with my hubby and our four kiddos.

When I was a little girl my fave time of the day was listening to my mother’s bedtime stories. It was an enchanting and magical experience for me. 

My greatest source of inspiration always comes from nature itself in combination with my ever growing imagination, but the anchor for both has always been deeply rooted in my childhood memories. That plays the biggest part of my creative process. Like, how I remember certain scenes or smells while I paint Christmassy things…or certain feelings I remember from camping from when I was a little girl when I make anything summer related. I guess this is the reason my work has been described as evocative. 

I also love experimenting & playing with textures, lines & patterns as seen in my work. I like it when I get lost in my own world- it’s fun! (from her website)
