Art inspired by the fairy tale world
Johanna Westerman grew up immersed in fairy tales. From fairies hidden in trees to bewitched animals to little goblins wearing crowns, these characters always find their way into every piece of art she creates. After publishing nine picture books and raising four children, she is entering a new chapter of her life that includes not only one of a kind fairy tale art, but the freedom to illustrate her own stories, create custom stationery, fabric and wallpaper, while always honoring the stories she grew up with.
