Timeline

1930

Maire-Ilon Wikland (née Pääbo; born 5 February 1930) is an Estonian-born Swedish artist and illustrator.

Wikland was born in Tartu, Estonia and raised in Haapsalu, Lääne County on Estonia's Baltic coast.

1944

In 1944 she escaped with the family of a classmate from the second Soviet occupation of Estonia, to Sweden, where she arrived as a refugee.

1953

In 1953 Wikland applied for a job as illustrator at Rabén & Sjögren.

She was met by Astrid Lindgren, who had just finished writing the book Mio, my Son and who could see immediately that Wikland was able to "draw fairytales".

Wikland did a test-drawing for the book and after that her collaboration with Lindgren continued.

Wikland has said that Lindgren's writing continually makes her see inner pictures.

She also derives inspiration for her pictures from real life.

In the same way that Lindgren wrote for "the child within her", Wikland often also draws for the child within her.

Wikland is the artist who has illustrated the greatest number of Lindgren's books:

She has also provided the illustrations for many picture books by Lindgren and many other writers, including The Dragon with Red Eyes, I Want a Brother or Sister, That’s My Baby, Brenda Helps Grandmother, Simon Small Moves in, and The Borrowers.

2002

Wikland was awarded the Illis quorum by the government of Sweden in 2002 for her "outstanding ability to bring environments and characters to life from her own and Astrid Lindgren's writings".

2004

In 2004 Wikland decided to gift her original illustrations to Estonia.

The artwork was originally exhibited in Wikland's gallery in Haapsalu, Estonia.

2009

In 2009 "Ilon's Wonderland", a gallery and theme centre for children and families based on her works and illustrations, was opened in Haapsalu.
