About

Alina Routa (she/her)
Finnish artist and writer.

I am chronically ill, which affects my ability to keep strict schedules, and means my art and writing pursuits are hobbies, rather than a career.

I am in my forties. I have some experience in web design and online communications. I have written poems and made art since I was a child. I am also an avid crafter. I focus on smaller items suchs as wool socks and toys. I love to try new methods, and craft traditions.

Reading is a big part of my life. I grew up reading everything I could get my hands on; library books, books my parents owned, most things. Now I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and give my sore eyes a break.

Social justice is very important to me. I am a trans ally and firmly anti-racist and anti-fachist. I care about nature, too.
