About
Lena Frölander-Ulf (born 1976) is a children’s book author and illustrator. She primarily works with scratchboard, but also with pencil, watercolour, ink, and digital media. Frölander-Ulf’s illustration work is characterised by her use of contrast between darkness and light. For her, the picture book is a stage where storytelling, poetry, visual art, and scenography come together. In spring 2026, her work will be shown in the exhibition "Kollektivet / Picture Book Illustration from Finland" at The Nordic Watercolour Museum.

Participating artists: Linda Bondestam, Jenni Erkintalo, Lena Frölander-Ulf, Edith Hammar, Maija Hurme, Erika Kallasmaa, Jenny Lucander, Laura Merz, Sanna Pelliccioni and Maria Sann
