Hi, I’m Johanna, a German-based Illustrator and Comic Artist. My work is deeply inspired by the beauty and diversity of the natural world, spanning the emotional spectrum from contemplative and melancholic to whimsical and bright.
I primarily work in publishing, illustrating literature for children and young adults, ranging from cover art to full-scale narratives. I am currently expanding my practice to write and illustrate my own graphic novels. My expertise also extends to conceptual illustration for urban and future-oriented design studios. I help visualize complex concepts and provide character design and illustration services for the cultural sector.
Outside of the studio, I find inspiration in the Nature: exploring the outdoors with my daughter to collect nature’s small treasures; from stones to dry twigs and empty snail shells.
Please direct all international literary inquiries to my agent Chad W. Beckerman / chad@catagencyinc.com at the CAT Agency
All regional literary inquiries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) please direct to me.
