“When I am illustrating and writing Pomenia stories I can feel the same enthusiasm I experienced when I was a child. and the wind pushed the sheet and blow me into the air. These sparkling moments of happiness tell me this is my adventure and I am flying again!”
Petronella was inspired by the magical characters and imaginative tales initially created as bedtime stories to enthrall her six children. Stories then evolved into successful children’s fashion collection Tinttu.com and fairytale merchandise in 1997.
Following a long development process, involving her children too Petronella has honed the spellbinding Pomenian creatures into their own individual characters, with distinctive personalities and characteristics for every one to adopt.
All her work is driven by the importance of storytelling and imagination in early childhood development. She believes in children’s ability to play freely, safely and imaginatively and openly to be who they want to be.
