Hello, my name is Chantal Petermann, also known as Parsley. Illustration is a way for me to make knowledge, beauty, and meaning visible – the beauty of nature as well as the value of a moment.

My work explores both the forgotten (such as rare or little-known foods) and the invisible (inner worlds, thoughts, and feelings). I create unique original pieces as well as illustrations for print and online media. For me, illustration means making things visible, capturing them, expressing ideas, and most of all, telling stories. When I am not illustrating, I express my creativity through cooking and baking, shaped by my background as a trained baker and pastry chef. I enjoy being outdoors – traveling, spending time in the forest and garden, with animals, cycling, staying active, and meeting people. This closeness to nature, health, and everyday life is reflected in my illustrations.
