When working with a piece of art I create a world of my own, based on my experiences, feelings and understanding of life. This allows a dialogue with the surrounding world in a way that fascinates me.
Before coming to Marche in the summer 2012 I travelled a lot in Tuscany and spent several summer holidays in the countryside between Pisa and Florence in the Etruscan area near Volterra. During the last years I have lived and worked with my artwork on the coast of the Adriatic sea in a small town.
The Sibillini mountains nearby and the tourquise horizon have kept me tightly close by. In an hour it is possible to go trekking from the beach to the mountains and experience the hilly countryside with its vineyards and olive groves.
The friendliness of the local Italian people has charmed me, not to mention the art and architecture and the various gourmet specialities of the region. The area is full of small vineyards, olive oil producers, opera- and jazz festivals and a georgeous landscape.
I have organized tailor made culture and painting workshops for professional artists. After spending a longer time in the area I have learned to know also local people working in tourism-, restaurant- and real-estate business.
Besides in Italy, I have lived different periods in Canada, Sweden, Switzerland and in England.
I have worked in Visual Arts since 90´s and as Lecturer of Visual Arts in Porvoo, Finland.
I speak Finnish, Swedish, English and Italian.
