About me
I attended a few weekend oil courses in Reykjavík. One of my teachers in Reykjavik helped me to change the colors on my palette. It became more colorful. I used my garage in Husavik as a workshop. When I retired in Husavik 2019 I decided to go to an art school i Reykjavik. That was a wise decision because then I could follow my dream to paint more than ever before and ask for teachers opinion of my work and advise for further development of it.

Education:
- Theology at the University of Iceland 1980-1986
- Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) at the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinic 1992-1993
Technique:
I use brushes but I also like to use palette knifes. I paint with oil on canvas but I have also painted a few acryl works on canvas.
Inspiration:
Icelandic landscape, nature, birds, boats, houses, still life, figures, music and color. I like to think about the connection of music, color and feelings when I paint my new paintings.
