Art
I create art as a language beyond words, through painting, collage, land art, ritual, and sometimes poetry. Working with reclaimed materials, pigments, and layered surfaces, I explore how listening, collecting, and transformation can create homes for the unknown. My work enters into dialogue with the spaces it inhabits, honoring the many-layered stories of the earth and its inhabitants.
Creative courses
From my home studio in Loshult (South Sweden) me and my friend Eléa offer creative courses for kids at our Villa Fyra School of arts. Check the new courses for autumn 2025, there is also one to get inspired with nature for adults.
