Born into a large Swedish artistic family where painting, handicraft and design was always a natural part of my life.
I have during a long life lived near oceans and lakes and always near nature, saved and registered memories in an inner portfolio to draw from.
I paint in oil with a special interest for the reflections in nature, the shadows and the light.
The beauty and harmony in nature reflect in all of the pictures.
To paint in oil makes me happy and fills me with an inner peace.
I paint with fingers, brushes, knife and I am filled with the joy of creating and am constantly amazed that the painting has a life of its own.
Often it starts with an idea or a feeling of colours that develop during the work to something magic. I never quite know where it will end.
It gives me great joy if others can appreciate my art but the reason I paint is merely for my own pleasure.
