I paint, mainly in acrylics and watercolours, but I explore and experiment with everything I can get my hands on. Right now, I’m working from a studio in the basement of our house in Stockholm, Sweden, but we are currently in the process of building a new home in a small town by the ocean, on Sweden’s west coast. The new home will house a larger studio space on the top floor.

I was born in Stockholm, but I have spent six years in total in the USA. First at art school in Seattle and then working at a design firm in San Francisco. We will be moving into our new home in a few months, which is nerve-racking and exciting all at the same time. Neither my partner nor I have lived in a small town before, but we both feel drawn to a simpler life and a safe place in which our kids can grow up.
