My life is a continuous meditation observing how things naturally unfold. I need to be completely present in all my endeavours, whether weeding a flowerbed, playing with my dog, going for a walk or painting. 

 

I find inspiration everywhere, but nothing beats strong feelings and the natural elements. I go deeply into my feelings to find the essence of the energy, drifting away as thoughts, symbolically reflected in the movements of the clouds. 

 

I can look at the clouds for hours at a time  –  moving and changing shapes. The variations in colour, mist, density, lightness and darkness show both variation and continuity at the same time, elegantly depicting a human life.

​

Paintings during 2000-2023 are made with acrylics, but recent experimentation with water soluble oils opened up an new universe for me,  so now I put the first layer down with acrylics and use oils to create the impression I want. ​

I work in my home studio in Oslo.
