Hello, my name is Astrid
I am an illustrator based in Denmark, newly graduated from Cambridge School of Art with a BA in illustration.
I have storytelling as the foundation of my image-making, and with acrylics on canvas, watercolor paintings and paper models I create characters and universes through historical research and inspiration from folktales and fairytales.
I also really enjoy making paper objects such as Advent calendars and greeting cards. I love to see my work turned into 3D and to have it interact with the viewer, e.g. by being cut out and folded or having secret compartments.
