Ellen DeLange has been fascinated by picture books ever since she was a child growing up in the Netherlands. In the attic of her home, she assembled a small library and shared her collection with friends and family. As an adult, she started traveling and expanded her library with picture books from all over the world. Ellen also enjoyed inventing her own stories and was encouraged by her daughter to write her first picture book, A Story with a Tale. Ellen has a doctorate in medical sciences and currently lives in Canada where she loves to walk in the woods with her Jack Russell terriers, drink lots of tea after a busy day, and sail on the ocean to clear her mind.
I am Anna Lindsten an illustrator and a surface pattern designer based in Stockholm, where I live with my family and our dog Hilla. I’ve been lucky to work with clients from around the world, making illustrations and patterns for children’s books, magazines, fabric, packaging, print, & more. I am also a graphic designer and worked for many years with nonfiction- and textbooks for school. I’ve studied art history, visual communication, illustration, and design theory at university and art school, I also went to part-time photography school. I like to constantly evolve as an artist and take art classes as often as possible.
