Author, Illustrator

About

Hi, I'm Lena! I like to draw. I also love goofing off with my family, looking at bugs and other outdoor things, and a good story. My talent for burning toast comes from my grandmother and my stinky feet come from my great grandmother. You can usually find me, drawing pictures for kids and grown-ups, in my secret hideout at the bottom of a volcano in Portland, OR. Here, I create character driven work that is mostly sweet and a little bit wicked, like me.
