Hi! I’m Verena, an illustrator, daydreamer and tea-loving creature.

I’ve been processing the things I see and feel through sketches and drawings since I’ve been able to hold a pen and still do so - just sitting in a cozy corner somewhere with my pencils and sketchbook is usually all it takes to make me happy (a cup of hot chocolate or tea might be appreciated too, though). In my work I like to create cozy environments, often inspired by nature, stories I heard as a child or places I’ve been to.
