Hi! I’m Maj Lisa Dörig, a Swiss artist and illustrator. My work – influenced by the landscapes and cities around me and the stories I gather – layers observation with memory, weaving reality with dream.

For me, drawing is a daily act – a dialogue between hand and thought, a method of deciphering the intricate tapestry of the world and the self. Enjoy!
