Information about the artist / the group

My sister Katarina and I often worked together with our art. I was greatly inspired by her way of working and her expertise. She was a role model and mentor for me. She was seriously ill with cancer when she moved back to Åland a few years ago, after 50 years on the mainland. All my time went into helping her, so I had to set aside all creative work.

Now I have the time and energy to begin my creative work again. I have so many different forms of expression that I can devote myself to depending on my mood at the time. If I don’t feel like painting, I can sit with needle and thread, until I suddenly take out my gelli plate and start composing images that have popped into my head!

Program during Konstrundan

I will show visitors the various techniques I work with: for example, different graphic methods and their processes as well as the results. I also present works in acrylic, watercolor, and textiles. It is always very rewarding to meet all the art-interested visitors and hear their questions and thoughts. Many new ideas can emerge from these conversations. It's wonderful to be able to talk about art for hours – without anyone getting bored!
