My name is Gabriella Marmbrandt, 32 years old self-taught artist based in Skåne, Sweden. I've always had the need to create, one way or another. I think we all have that need, just that it manifests itself differently. When I was younger, I wrote and sketched a lot. I first drew the brush stroke with acrylic about seven years ago, and after that I've been hooked. It became therapeutic, and it has become a way of expressing all of me. My feelings, dreams, thoughts, impressions and fantasies. I also write poems to many of my works. Which I feel gives what I'm trying to convey a more depth and stronger message.
