• Children
    Innocence is a beautiful thing we loose when we grow up and learn how to act in modern society. We see bad things where there are none and we become afraid of natural behaviour and curiosity. Kids on the other hand, are still open and brave.

    These illustrations are available in limited prints, contact me if you want to buy one.

  • Living Room Songs by Ólafur Arnalds
    I did the illustrations for Ólafur Arnalds album called Living Room Songs.

    Every song on the album has a unique illustration that represents each song.
    The idea is that the audience can frame their favourite song and make it a part of their own living room.

    My talented husband, Jónas Valtýsson, did the cover design for the album.
