About

Im an artist who lives close to the nature in the forest outside Ängelholm, in the south part of Sweden.
My creation has always been a big part of my life. I have been painting and creating for as long as I can remember and had the joy of receiving support.

In my creation I give a lot of myself and often create my own stories about the motifs that emerge on the paper. Because I almost entirely create living subjects. That makes them all unique and special to me.

Inspiration

I live in nature with my dogs and get a lot of my inspiration from them. My love and respect for animals is a common thread both for me as a human and in my creation. Animals have always been the biggest inspiration in my art.
As a viewer, I want you to see the life in their eyes and feel the closeness of each individual.

I also want to follow the times and I am greatly influenced by everything that happens in our world. That is why there are also images from both war and misery in my art. Then I can feel that the feelings this evokes can recount in the pictures.

I have courses and webinars as my art education but I am otherwise self-educated.

I have art classes for children in my garden in the summer months.There, the children learn to create with different techniques.

Have tried all possible materials such as clay, oil, plaster and acrylic.
But today I mostly use watercolor pencils in combination with regular watercolor.
