Life
Life
Lindström was born in Västerås in 1952. She attended the art school Konstfack in Stockholm from 1969 to 1974, where she studied painting and was part of a radical political activist group. The origin of her more radical and dark art style is attributed to this time period. She began her career in the 1980s as a cartoonist. Her first book was Kattmössan (The Cat Hat), which she wrote and illustrated. In 1996, she published her second book Lurix. She is known for her children's books, such as Berättesler om Mats Och Roj (Somebody Moves In—Stories About Mats and Roj) (2002) and Olli Och Mo (Olli and Mo) (2012).
