"My work lives in the joyful tension between chaos and harmony, where color and line collide in playful, often absurd arrangements. I create imagined worlds populated by exuberant forms, emotional textures, and a cast of expressive shapes and symbols that suggest story without anchoring it. Humor, instinct, and spontaneity are my materials as much as pastel, paint, or paper."
Fanny is a Maine-based artist whose colorful, emotionally charged works blend illustration, abstraction, and playful visual storytelling. She holds a BFA in Illustration from The Art Institute of Boston. Her influences include the irreverent charm of Yoshitomo Nara, the joyful aesthetics of FriendsWithYou, the boldness of 1980s pop art, and the high-saturation energy of the digital age.
Born in 1971 in Oslo, Norway and raised in New York, Fanny brings a cross-cultural sensibility to her work — one that balances Northern whimsy with urban intensity. She currently lives and works in Maine, where her practice continues to evolve through intuition, humor, and a deep love of expressive form.
