EMMA ÅKERMAN, ARTIST & ILLUSTRATOR.

2023 I am writing and Illustrating a children´s book, my debut as a writer. It will be published in September by a Swedish Publishing company, Lilla Pirat Förlag

In February 2023, the first five spreads of this book will be a part of the THE ILLUSTRATORS EXHIBITION in Bologna and travel with it around the world.

I am re-establishing as an Illustrator, in Stockholm and Berlin. Since more than ten years in free art, drawing and painting, cooperating with contemporary Art Gallerys in Sweden, I am returning to my original profession as an Illustrator.

I have a Master at Konstfack School of Art and Design 2003, in Graphic Design and Illustration. I also Illustrated several books with Swedish Publishing companies, among other commissions.

I have taken part of the HDK-courses “Visual Narrative”/“Bild och Berättande” och “Making Storys Through Picture Books” /”Barnboksberättande” in Gothenburg, Sweden.

I am currently a part of the wonderful “Berlin Critics”, a small but active critique-group started in Berlin 2021 by Leila Boukarim, Joelle Gebhardt and Rozana Rajkumari.
