Great Affections

Suntree

Raija Nokkala (b. 1956), lives and works in Uusikaupunki

Her art is described by words joyful, colorful, surprising, cheerful and soft. The artist herself has

stated that her art is a declaration for a better world, a world where everyone is friends with each

other. For that she needs the help of the people from the fairy-tale forest.

Postcards by Martta Wendelin 

Martta Wendelin (1893-1986) is one of the most famous illustrators in Finland. She was born in 1893 in the harbour town of Kotka and she died in Tuusula in 1986. She had a long career, and is best known for her illustrations of the Finnish countryside, children and family life in children’s books, postcards and magazines. In the 1930s and ‘40s her idyllic, family-centred views spread to almost every home in Finland through the covers of Kotiliesi magazine. The popularization of her pictures with families was further helped due to the scarce availability of pictures at the time.

In the cottage mood

Summer vacation in Finland is not complete without spending time at a summer cottage by the lake. We Finns drive to our cottages for hours, only to spend weekends and summer holidays in complete peace and solitude. The most popular cottage season starts at Midsummer in late June and lasts until the end of the summer holiday season, end of July.

We Finns like to keep our distance to neighbours :)
