About Henriette T. Osnes
Henriette T. Osnes (1990) is an award-winning and creative human living in the forest, working as an illustrator and author – with educational background including Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Her practice ranges from tiny art books to large murals – the last years mainly focusing on children’s books, thriving when drawing mischievous stories. Humor is one of her most important tools – alongside oddness, the slightly grotesque, bold colors and quirky, expressive characters. Always on the go, she often works directly from her iPad – the perfect companion for a scatterbrained illustrator.
