MILJA LAINE

I am a Helsinki based illustrator and visual artist with degrees in contemporary arts and ecology. Human-nature connection is at the core of my artistic practices.
As an illustrator I specialize in nature subjects. Since 2012 my illustrations have been published in various education materials, magazines, and children's books. My personal projects are often photo-based and extended with found objects. My artwork has been on display around Finland, Tallinn, and Madrid, anad I have also written a book about urban plants.
I am interested in the liminal spaces between art and science, nature and culture, human and more-than-human worlds. I cherish the beauty of the ordinary and seek to strengthen the threads of connection and care within the broader web of relations.
