lastenkirjan kuvitus, jossa mummo rypyttää karjalanpiirakkaa. Children's book illustration where a granny makes Karelian pasty.

I’m Heli, a picture book artist and illustrator based in Lahti, Finland. 


I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, and it has always been a big part of my life. With a background in graphic design, I bring a blend of technical skill and creativity to my work.

​

I work mostly digitally with Photoshop but like exploring different techniques when a project calls for it. My illustrations are inspired by cartoons, and I love capturing big emotions and movement - especially when drawing people.

​

One of my personal goals is to write and illustrate my own children’s book. I'm working on it.. :)

​

If you have a project that could use some of my skills, let me know! I do illustration for children's books, editorial content, and commercial projects for clients from all around the world.
