Who is Lisen?

My name is Lisen Vennesland, I’m an artist and illustrator from Norway.

​

In 2021, I took my dream of making a living from art, illustrations, and my creativity seriously.

Since then I have worked full-time as an artist and illustrator, and today my work can be found on walls all over Norway and around the world.

​

I love drawing people! Portraits and storytelling illustrations are one of my favorite things to do.

​

Art prints and illustrations are available both in my online store, in selected online stores and physical stores.

I have been drawing since I was a child. All my schoolbooks are full of little drawings. I have worked with pencil, painting, charcoal, watercolor and acrylic ++

Today I work mainly digitally, a way of working that I really enjoy and that provides a different flow and flexibility in the process.

I'd love to hear from you – whether it's about a collaboration, an illustration commission, licensing, or a creative project.
