During the pre World War 2 era, Tove would regularly have illustrations published in magazines. Tove’s enrolment at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1938, after studying art in her homeland, would eventually lead to exhibitions of her work. Signe Hammarsten-Jansson’s self portrait. It would be the start of a lifelong love affair with creativity for the future artist, illustrator and author. As an adolescent she began creating books with her own illustrations. Both her parents were artists and from a young age Tove aided her mother, illustrator Signe Hammarsten-Jansson, with her commissions.
Tove Jansson was born in the capital of Finland, Helsinki, the eldest of her siblings.
