​

I need to be productive and completely present in all my endeavours, whether that is weeding a flower bed, going for a walk or painting.

 

I live in a rich inner world guarding myself from external influences that are not deliberately chosen, so I spend much of my time alone. 

​

I find inspiration everywhere, but nothing beats strong feelings and the natural elements. I go deeply into my feelings to find the essence of the energy, often symbolically reflected in the movements of the clouds.

 

I can look at the clouds for hours at a time  –  moving and changing shapes. The variations in colours, mist, density, lightness and darkness show both variation and continuity at the same time, elegantly depicting a human life.

​

I am exploring the immense diversity of mediums and techniques and when an emerging painting captures the essence of life’s inherent interconnectedness and ongoing transformation I get a sense of  peaceful completion.

​

I work in my home studio in Oslo.
