Malin Gyllensvaan weaves together gouache and graphite pencil to create a modern expression of the classic botanical still-life illustration. Her exotic organic forms are bold, sophisticated, rich in color, and lush in texture. Influenced by vintage botanical works and the patterns of the Arts and Crafts Movement, Malin has reimagined these traditional elements into an elegant contemporary style. This calendar showcases a collection of her work that celebrates the beauty and wonder of the plant and animal kingdoms. Malin is a textile designer and illustrator based in Stockholm, Sweden. Her designs can be found on textiles for home and fashion, on paper goods, and in children's books. Her clients include IKEA, Anthropologie, eeBoo, Bespoke Press, Holt Renfrew, H&M, Åhléns, and Greenfinch.
