Information about the artist / the group

I first encountered printmaking over 20 years ago during a printmaking course that was part of my studies in product design. It immediately felt like my kind of technique; its craftsmanship fascinated me! I continued studying printmaking at a community college wherever I happened to live in Finland. Now, I've been working independently at Ratamo for a few years. My main techniques include etching, aquatint, and photo-etching. I also enjoy photography, and when I delved into the world of photo-etching, I began incorporating photographs into my work. In my prints, I capture small, everyday moments—they're like condensed versions of the whole. I'm inspired by the seasons, shadows and light, as well as lines, whether they're in architecture, nature, or even power lines. I also do cyanotype.

Program during Konstrundan

Welcome to explore our workshop and the various techniques of printmaking! You can also observe printing and how the image transfers from the plate to the paper. In addition to printmaking, you can also delve into the world of cyanotype. Finished works are on display as a small exhibition. See you at Ratamo!
