Meet Mary Anne Liam
Where Nordic nature, watercolor stories, and children’s imagination meet [GAP] confirm tagline
Marianne is a Norwegian children’s author, illustrator, and educator with a background in graphic communication and storytelling. She creates picture books that help children understand kindness, empathy, and big feelings — often with a sprinkle of gentle humor and a flock of quirky characters who don’t always behave as planned.
Read full bio
Her hand painted watercolor art is inspired by Scandinavian nature, everyday adventures, and the small emotional dramas that unfold in a child’s world. Through the growing Fimsie universe, she develops stories, activities, and artwork designed to support social emotional learning (SEL) in a warm, accessible way.
Whether she’s painting hens with opinions or crafting stories about belonging, Marianne’s goal is always the same: to help children feel seen, supported, and wonderfully themselves.
