Hello and welcome!

​I'm Anna Lena and I have been writing and drawing for as long as I can remember. No wonder I ended up working as an author and illustrator, after studying Industrial Design!

 

My illustration work is infused with a mix of collage (which I also teach in workshops!), paint and digital tools, to add depth and life to the work. All things nostalgic inspire me: I love old buildings, books, but I also love to garden, cook and eat, and devour books of all kinds. Probably why I'm very drawn to writing non-fiction for kids!

 

If you have an illustration project you want to hire me for, message me through my contact page or email me at hey@annalena.nl!

I am represented by literary agent Christabel McKinley at David Higham Associates.
