Works with textile crafts / design and digital graphics.

I explore the close in nature around me, and find
moods and motifs in the rich fairytale world as
are present in the landscape on Andøya and in Vesterålen.
I am inspired by details, shapes, colors and humor,
and birds have long been a very important source of inspiration.
