About myself
I am a 2d animation artist that has worked both within a studio environment and independently on my own projects. After returning to Iceland, I have been working mostly within the illustration trade due to the lack of animation opportunities.
I am imaginative, easy going but with the determination to see my projects through to the end with good result. I have a particular fascination with Icelandic and European folk tales and fairy tales and it is often reflected in both my illustrations and animations.
