In 2023 I was one (of the three) winners of the Picture This! illustration competition, hosted by Dutch publishing house Lemniscaat.
My winning illustrations are black and white linocut prints, that together tell the story of Senna. Senna is looking for her cat Snoet; he hasn’t come home for dinner and now Senna has to go to bed without having a cuddle from her favourite pet. She is tired of searching all day and falls asleep immediately. In her dreams, her search for Snoet continues…
The jury’s verdict: “The story and Sofie’s talent for illustration are beautifully combined in her linocuts. The original style and ambience invite the reader to take a closer look to see what is happening. Her clear, flowing lines and shapes are beautiful and attractive to children.”
