My name is Anette. From my home in Norway I make drawings for children's books, and paint illustrations for clients all over the world. My colorful pictures makes children and playful adults smile.

Since the first time my mom let me play with colored pencils I have filled loads of paper with my doodles. My head is full of ideas that turns into happy pictures and fun stories.

In my childhood I used to pet the bees because they looked soft.
If I didn't work on a drawing or a story, I spent time in my grandmother's apple trees - with an umbrella in the rain.

It didn't surprise anyone that I chose illustration as a career. After attending art school and working as a graphic designer I began working freelance in 2001.

I illustrated my first children's book in 2006, and my plan for the future is to create a lot of books. Being able to create something every day makes me happy!
