Nomad Tree Print

I am a native of northern Sweden, where the midnight sun sparks the summers and the winters are cloaked in snowy darkness. In my early twenties I started to explore the world and moved to the UK, with frequent travels to Central America and the USA. As a child I was sensitive with a vivid imagination, and drawing and painting helped me to focus and stay grounded. I have used oils, acrylics, pen and ink for over 30 years creating a wide range of art work. I am still learning and expanding my own creative vision. For me, the process of applying paint to canvas is connected to healing, the addition of colour is blending away that which was before and reveals a new radiant image/being. During painting, the application of colour becomes a transformational experience which energises the canvas, as well as the body and soul, inside and out. Drawing is more of a grounding process, where I can express spontaneity in the moment, and I draw every day to keep my creativity fresh. From these sketches I often get insights that might pertain to others aspects of my life.
