About / Contact
My name is Emelie Bylund and I am the person behind EMELIEmaria. I am an illustrator based in Östersund, Sweden.
I like to work with different techniques, often I paint with gouache or watercolor and then combine it with digital illustrations that I paint by hand on my Ipad.
I get inspired by the wild landscape in Jämtland with the mountains, the woods and the lakes. But I also find inspiration in the little things in everyday life, like how the seasons shiftings change my garden, the steam from a smoking cup of tea or the color changes in a forest clearing. The feeling in what I create are the same despite of the technique – a playful and magic feeling with a little piece of wonder.
Shall we work together?
If you want to hire me for a project – please send me a mail or call.
I’d be happy to see if I can help you or your company with your illustration projects.
Some examples of what I work with:
- Illustrations for childrens books/ Kidlit art.
- Illustrations for websites, like header, footer or content.
- Cover designs for books or magazines.
- Package designs and seamless patterns.
- Illustrations for non-fictional books.
- Design for postcards, posters or printed products.
