MY WORK

Hi, I´m Rie. A Copenhagen-based illustrator and visual storyteller, creating imaginative artwork rooted in fantasy.My work blends bold colour, narrative depth, and a sense of quiet magic — designed to invite the viewer to pause, feel, and step into another world.I'm an award-winning illustrator with a passion for both aesthetics and structure. My scientific background makes me a meticulous thinker, and my love for storytelling fuels every brushstroke. I’m committed to clear communication and on-time delivery for asmooth creative journey for all.My background includes formal training in classical drawing, design, and painting, along with mentorships from some of the best in the visual arts industry.

ABOUT ME

From the moment I could hold a pencil, I was spellbound by the worlds that existed just beyond the veil — realms of mist, magic, and ancient wonder.Fantasy didn’t just spark my imagination; it gave it wings. Stories of dragons, quiet heroes, and forgotten woods became the lens through which I saw the world — not just as it is, but as it could be.
Today, I feel incredibly lucky to add to that tapestry — to create art that whispers of otherworlds and invites others to wander through them, too/Rie
