About
I am a self-taught, hobby artist based in Lidingö, Stockholm. While my professional background is in IT, I have always had a strong creative drive and a love for making things—everything from crafting lampshades and remaking furniture to crocheting. Painting is a more recent discovery, but it has quickly become a central part of my life and a way for me to reconnect with my creative side.
I live with my husband, our two children, and our dog, and I find that creativity flows naturally alongside everyday life. My artistic journey is intuitive and evolving, without formal training, allowing me the freedom to explore and grow on my own terms.

Inspiration
I find inspiration in everyday life—people, moments, images, posters, and magazines. Often, ideas come to me unexpectedly, such as just before falling asleep or while walking my dog. These spontaneous thoughts are important to me, and I try to act on them as soon as I can.
What fascinates me most is that the final painting rarely turns out as I initially imagined. Instead, the subject and emotion develop organically throughout the process, which keeps the work exciting and alive.
I have no formal art education and am entirely self-taught. My background is in IT, and my artistic skills have developed through experimentation, curiosity, and a lifelong passion for creating.
I am currently planning a local, independently organized exhibition on Lidingö. The format is still in development, but the idea is to create an accessible and personal setting where my work can be experienced up close.
In addition, I work with home styling for real estate, where I sometimes incorporate my own paintings as part of the interior.
I primarily work with acrylic paint combined with spray paint, building my paintings layer by layer. This approach allows me to create depth, texture, and contrasts, while also achieving softer transitions between colors.
My technique is intuitive and exploratory, where each layer contributes to the overall expression without a fixed end result in mind.
My painting process is gradual and intuitive rather than planned. I rarely complete a painting in one sitting; instead, I work on pieces over time, allowing them to evolve. Sometimes I work on several paintings simultaneously, while at other times I take breaks to gather new ideas and inspiration.
The process itself is essential to me—the painting grows and changes along the way, which means the final result is often very different from where I started.
