Information about the artist / the group

I am a visual artist and an art teacher. Alongside my teaching, I create my own art in a small, homely studio in my yard, surrounded by nature. I work simultaneously on multiple levels, both technically and conceptually. I combine different techniques and themes; for example, history may merge with the present, and painting with photography. I also use natural materials in my works.
I primarily paint by combining cold wax with oil paints. It is an ancient technique that is less widely known today. For me, art is a way of exploring and articulating the relationship between the inner and outer worlds. The uniqueness and sensitivity of nature are my greatest sources of inspiration.

Program during Konstrundan

I will open my home studio and its surroundings to the public during Konstrundan. Paintings in progress will be on display, and I am happy to talk about my working process and the painting techniques I use. Small artworks and cards will also be available for purchase. In the atrium-yard of the 1950s summer villa next to the studio building, there will be a small art exhibition and a café.

Driving directions

Särkijärventie 76, Villa Atrium. There is a parking area by the roadside. Follow the signposts down the path toward the lakeshore. The home studio is located at the bottom of the slope, just past the large oak tree.
