MILJA LAINE

I'm a Helsinki based illustrator with degrees in visual arts and ecology. I have a background in environmental education, and nature connectedness is also at the core of my artistic practices.

 

I create illustrations mainly for environmental education materials, magazines and children's books. I favor hand-made illustrations using mostly pencils and watercolor in my work.

​

My personal projects tend to revolve around themes of womanhood, connection and impermanence. I usually combine photography, collage, text, and small assemblages. My work is often embedded with metaphors drawn from the natural world.
