Tales from Under the Leaves Print

I am an artist based in Tromsø, Norway. In working on my botanical, entomological, avian, and ecological art, I love both the affective and scientific exploration of nature and the wonderful small and large worlds within it. Because this ignites my imagination in so many ways, I also love bringing an element of fiction into my artworks whenever inspiration leads me there. I love how working in great detail draws me into the subject more and more, so that the process of painting also becomes an immersive experience of learning and interaction. I usually work with watercolour and graphite, but I also like to explore ink techniques, eco-plant-printing and other creative processes. Increasingly, I make my own pigments from all sorts of plants and stones, to further connect me and my paintings with nature and give each painting a unique flavour.
