Maj Persson
I am an illustrator with a background as a biologist, two fields that I often combine in my assignments. The techniques I prefer to use are watercolor, Indian ink and pencil. I create both exact depictions as well as free interpretations. In collaboration with Anna Berg i run "Mångfaldens Mönster" (Patterns of Diversity) www.mangfaldens.se.
