Jessica Marquardt, also known as Knödellustration, is a Mannheim-based autodidact artist and environmental scientist. Working in watercolor, acrylic, ink, and recycled materials, she blends fantasy illustration with ecological themes. Her biologically inspired works explore fungi, nutrient cycles, and sustainability while opening poetic reflections on our inner soul garden—where growth, decay, and transformation become deeply human experiences.
