„To be or not to be“

Hello, I’m Linda!
I’m an illustrator and designer living in Switzerland. Since a young age I loved to create my own little worlds through drawing. Many different influences shape my work, but my multicultural background is probably the biggest defining factor of all. With a mother from Finland and a father from the Czech Republic, I feel somehow at home in many places and yet not. Other cultures and mentalities fascinate me.
I understand my work as an expression of my origin and my identity. It is wanderlust and homesickness at the same time. Sometimes mysterious, but simultaneously heartwarming and childlike.
Why ‚Country Road‘?
It is true that I live in the Swiss countryside, and spending time in nature is a huge inspiration for me. I love the „countrycore / cottagecore“ aesthetic, too.
However, I initially chose ‚Country Road Atelier‘ as a name after watching the Ghibli movie „Whisper of the Heart“ where you can hear a beautiful version of the „Country Roads“ song. The movie is about following your dream and leaving behind the bad memories from the past. It is about finding strength in doing what you love most and keep going, even when your heart is heavy or when it seems impossible.
If you’d like to work with me, please send an email.
Happy to hear from you!
