I'm Mari Luoma, an award winning illustrator and author from Finland, currently living in Hamburg, Germany. 

I work freelance all around the world and I'm always up for new projects! 

I’m experienced at making children’s books, comics and character designs. I'm also a member of Finnish Illustration Association and The Union of Finnish Writers. The books I have made or worked with have won awards in Finland such as Johtolanka Juniori (best children’s or young adult thriller) and Tieto-Lauri (best Finnish non-fiction children’s book).

You can book me to talk about my work or host a small workshop (Finnish, English or German) virtually through Lukukeskus.

The rights of my books are handled by Rights & Brands agency. The licences for books where I have only worked as an illustrator may be held by other agencies, depending on the authors. 

I'm represented by Christie Megill in The CAT Agency in the US and the UK. For projects in those regions, please send an email straight to Christie:
