Artist statement
I’m inspired by being close to nature. My atelier is between the fjords and mountains, at a small iland outside Bergen, Norway. I grew up here, among fishermen, farmers and traders, in a community that has always depended on the sea. My education as a decorator led to a career as a manager for purchasing and marketing designer products. But I continue to interpret Nordic Landscapes and creatures, in acrylic paint on canvas, pastel chalk and watercolor; and for the past several years art has been my full-time occupation.
