Her work is very impressive, simplistic, and intriguing. I can see that it draws from many different inspirations and I love how her contemporary look in fine art is combined in modern packaging and advertising.
In an interview with , the question is asked from where Perrson gets her inspiration. She gives a list of answers: "Thrift shops, flea markets, travels, foreign supermarkets, my children's never ending imagination, color, fashion magazines, organic shapes and things found in nature, plastic kitchen utensils from the 60's and 70's, movies from the 50's, 60's and 70's, Wong Kar-Wai's movies, anything Hitchcock, Paul Rand, Reid Miles and his Blue Note covers, Enzo Sellerio (Sicilian photograper), old magazines, Swedish summers in the countryside, garage sales, Tove Jansson and Moomin, Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking, fashion photography by Steven Meisel, Ellen von Unwerth, Paolo Roversi to name a few, Japan, the Italian language, good food and red wine with my husband and friends while listening to Keren Ann, Jorge Ben, Feist and Nouvelle Vague."
Also asked during this interview, her favorite designers and artists are: "My illustrator friend's Sara Singh, Tina Berning and Cecilia Carlstedt are a great inspirations.
