Jaana Heiska
Jaana likes creating dreamlike illustrations inspired by old storybooks, fairy tales and the natural world. After drawing digitally for what felt like ages, Jaana made the move back to traditional media and couldn’t be happier.
1 I HEAR YOU
“From Witchtober 2020, this piece depicts a witch feeling the nature surrounding her and communicating with the deer spirit.”
2 WILL YOU SING FOR ME
“I combined nature and a figure to create a personification of the nurturing and creative forces that are present in nature.”
3 GROW WITH ME
“A spirit surrounded by greenery, drawing strength from the plants while helping them grow. I was inspired by the Queen of Wands from tarot and medieval iconography.
4 WEATHER THE STORM
“From Mermay 2021, this contrasts the delicate flow of the mermaid and her love of the sea with the force of the water.”
