About
If you've come this far, you may be wondering who's behind Arn. – to read Arn Dot – and want to learn more about me. In short, Arn has been my nickname for almost 20 years! My real name is Helen, I just turned 30, I'm an illustrator and I live in the Normandy countryside (France).
Self-taught, my studies in biology and computer science did not predestine me to embark on this adventure. Although drawing has always been part of my life, it was only at the end of 2020, when I could no longer work due to serious health problems, that I decided to leave more room for creativity in my daily. So here I am a few years later to present my creations to you on networks and on this online store.
