She was fascinated by the illustrated fairytales of Hans Christian Anderson such as”The Emperor’s New Clothes”, “The Little Mermaid”, “The Little Match Girl”, “The Red Shoes”, “The Princess and the Pea” and “The Snow Queen”. She was spending the whole summer holiday on drawing her fairytale characters and sometimes creating her owns. From then on she got hooked!
