Biography
I am a self-taught Norwegian painter (b.1949). Since 1982 I have had 45 exhibitions in Norway, USA, Spain and Italy. Oslo Painting School (1985), Olav Mosebekk Drawing and Painting School (1996) and painting workshops in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA (1991)
From 1987 I lived several years in the picturesque landscape of Santa Fe, New Mexico - participating in experimental painting workshops and 10 exhibits. Since 2014, I have been sharing my time between a mountain village in Andalusia, Spain and my home in Norway. I work with various techniques: acrylic, collage, water based oil, oil pastel, water color and mixed media, both on paper and canvas. Editioned Giclée prints are available of my artwork.

Artist Statement

Drawing and painting have always been a way of expressing myself. Nature is my primary source of inspiration. Painting for me is a meditative state of being, where I connect to the elements and the rhythm of nature, weaving dreams and visions into my artwork. My idea of the intention of doing art is to be able to communicate that all things are connected with one another and to the universe. The interconnectedness of all things in nature represents a deep unity within myself. I also consider my work as a teacher bringing the language of colors to the viewer and hope for the future. I like to think of my paintings as gifts from the spiritual realm revealed after journey to the land of introspection. Welcome to traces of my vision.
