Here’s my entries for the Shirley Hughes sketchbook award 2025, incredibly proud to come second!

Very happy to be asked to do a second BonDep advent calendar. This year it’s inspired by The Nutcracker and the grand opening party scene. And we printed bits of gold on the details, what a treat!

Writer Kari Saanum and I are very proud to present our book baby, after four years in the making! It was nominated for Brageprisen 2024 in the non-fiction for children category, for the Kultur- og Likestillingsdepartementets prize for illustration in 2025 and is nominated for Bokslukerprisen 2025/26. Five of the illustrations were finalists for the Bologna Children’s book fair illustrators exhibition 2022 and are part of the exhibition at the Arbeidermuseet in Oslo. And it includes an almost two meter long print of Sagveien in 1890, the setting for the story! Can be bought here

Card designed and drawn for Sagene bookshop in Oslo.

I love drawing houses. I do commissioned house portraits whenever I have time. Some are of peoples homes to be put on the wall or given as a gift, others are made for shops or restaurants, to become calendars, cards anything. Here is a selection of work from the last couple of years. If you are interested in having one made for you get in touch for price list and details. Although I prefer drawing from life drawing from photos is also an option if you live far away.

This project was developed during my Ma at Cambridge School of Art. It follows women in my family nine generations back, from me to my mother to my grandmother and her mother etc. All women have a double spread with a portrait, a short biography and some laws specific to women during their era. It is about time, history and the changing conditions of women’s lives. It is published in Norway in January 2019 by Omnipax.

This was my final project on the Master in Cambridge. I wanted to investigate human communication, but it proved difficult to illustrate, or communicate, all the different ideas I had! It is such a vast theme, but so interesting I will probably have another go at it again when I’m a bit older and wiser.

My sketchbook is my best friend. I take it almost everywhere, and am very attached to it. The world is so full of interesting things to draw!
