I am a Canberra based Australian Artist on beautiful Ngunawal Land. I draw from my Finnish heritage with Nordic Inspirations.
I am a life longer lover of creating art through many mediums, from pencil, to paint, to words. Based in Canberra I balance my career in the charity sector with family, and as such my art is a side endeavour, but I hope to share it more widely.
My art is primarily now created using full bodied acrylics, water colour and graphite. I use brushes, palette knives, and fingers liberally. I like my layers thick but subject simple. I do not paint from formula and as such every piece has its own character and imperfections - because art and life should not be perfect or routine.
I draw inspiration from nature, moments, people and moods. My landscapes breathe a sigh, send a shiver, or illicit an emotion that harks to a certain feeling or time - at least that’s how I feel when I paint them.
I like to blend the ordinary from every day with the extradorinaiy and sometimes surreal.
Thank you for viewing my art today. I hope you find a piece that connects with you.
