Hi! I'm Johanna!
I'm an illustrator and animation artist.
I illustrate children's books, I create animated music videos for musicians around the world and I sketch during live events (like concerts and weddings).
I live in a little cottage in the hills of Belgium with my husband, my stepson and my cat. When I'm not in my studio drawing, I enjoy gardening, spending time outside and reading graphic novels.
I like to meet people, though I'm the most happy on my own with my brushes and paints. I like to be the discreet one in the corner, capturing every scene in my sketchbook. People often say that I'm kind and that they see that softness in my work. I will let you be the judge of that.
What I hope is that my work can bring a bit of light, beauty and gentleness in this noisy world.
Some facts
I grew up in the Pyrenean mountains, in the South of France. I traveled around a lot, especially to the United-States where I went multiple times. I lived in London (UK) for 6 years and after Covid I moved to Belgium where I still live today, in a cute house in the countryside with a beautiful garden.
My past clients include Joseph Kamel, Tom Odell, Angus & Julia Stone, Pete Muller, Stu Larsen, Luke Thompson, IndieVibes, Purple Pomegranate Press, House Story Press, Lanista Partners Ltd, La Bonne Source, ...
I speak fluent French and English.
I got my BA Honours in Illustration from Middlesex University, London (UK).
Interesting fact: I was homeschooled for most of my younger years, which for me was the best thing ever!
I won the Lanista Partners Illustration Award in 2016, I was shortlisted for the Prix Raymond Leblanc in 2025 and I was shortlisted twice for the Sketching For Survival Competition.
I love tea, kind people, music, walks in nature, swimming, horses and apple pie.
