Crafts, Painting
I am a visual and textile artist based in Joensuu. I work in a studio in the city centre that has grown into a small community of artists and craftspeople. My background in dance is strongly present in my visual art: I paint with my whole body, using movement as a brush. Physicality, music and colour merge in my works into a dynamic and sensorial whole. Many of my pieces reveal how rhythm and colour blend together. In recent years, my interest has deepened in combining painting and textile art. I also boldly use traditional craft techniques such as weaving and embroidery. In addition, I teach at an art school and participate in several community art projects in North Karelia. Creating art together with others comes naturally to me.
During the weekend, you will have the opportunity to get to know the artist, the artworks and the studio. You can also take part in a workshop raffle and purchase artworks directly from the artist!
