Art on display in Exhibition for the Festival of Ideas


I am taking part in 
The Archive and The Contested Landscape
Exhibition for the Festival of Ideas,
22nd-28th October 2018


Beside the Seaside Today

This illustration shows how you can try your best to collect lids and bottles beside the seaside, to make sure that the lids won’t be eaten by fish, seabirds or even whales and also that the landscape looks good. The idea of walking by the sea trying to find beautiful seashells or pebbles in the beach can today be seen in many places as replaced by collecting colourful lids and bottles. The romantic and beautiful seaside landscape is available to more people than previously but at the same time, the sea itself suffers from how we take care of it and the rest of nature.

Take Me There - exhibition


My work has been selected 
for the Take Me There -exhibition, 
at Heong Gallery.




I have chosen illustrations from my picturebook story ‘What will you do next?’ where a parent takes his toddler to a park - the Botanical Garden - to share what the place has to give: green areas, a water fountain and small animals. For me, the Botanical Garden has become a good friend to visit during my studies in Cambridge. It is a place where you can ‘breathe in’, get relaxed and get inspiration. Every time it has had something new to show, even during the winter, when the Winter Garden was in its best suit. The atmosphere in the park is enchanted. The story contains a special moment of a boy who, encouraged by a lion, undergoes the natural developmental stage from a crawling to a walking individual, that will say takes his first steps. I hope the same boy will come back to this place, also as an adult, not only to see what plants and animals the garden is able to provide but to gain strength and courage, to ‘breathe in’ and feel himself whole.

Living in our Own Bubbles





Living in our own bubbles

Cambridge is a welcoming University City with multiple layers and diversity. Punting seems to be an activity hold around the year. Although “the sound of the cars” is in the air, we don’t seem to notice it as we live inside our everyday bubbles like the punters in the picture, or do we?

Work selected to an edition of gift-prints in representing the University. 


Nature and city life in harmony





Nature and city life in harmony

This simplified view from the Botanical garden in Cambridge is to show how the garden is related to its close environment, surrounded by two busy roads but also some green areas where the city cows seem to spend their summers in harmony with cars, cyclists and pedestrians. This is a view which could be implemented to so many other cities and towns, so that plenty of space is given to green areas such as parks, gardens, fields and meadows. 


Work selected for Sustainability Art Prize 2018 Exhibition.

Private View: Wednesday 11 April, 5pm
Ruskin Gallery, Cambridge
