Information about the artist / the group

Raised with little interest in visual art at home, my interest was sparked at school by a teacher who took us to galleries and museums in Helsinki in the 1960s. As an adult, I began painting in courses in watercolor, oil and Japanese woodblock printmaking, and studied at the Fria Konstskolan. I had a number of exhibitions but stopped to pursue graduate studies in nursing. Now I have returned to art, where my own aging has given me a slower vision and a deepening in color, light and stillness. I make woodblock prints, paint in watercolor and acrylic and do some graphics. I am chairman of the Åland Art Association and also a member of the Åland Artists (ÅK) section. I have solo exhibitions and participate in group exhibitions.

Program during Konstrundan

I present my artwork in my home. It is work in watercolor, pastel and acrylic. I show how I make Japanese woodblock prints and talk about the method.
