A fascination of nature has played a major role in my life. Already as a child my greatest joy was to accompany my father when he worked in the forest or went fishing. 

I began mixing colours with earth pigment back in 1984. The idea of using drifting wood, came to me on a fishing trip in the mountains of northern Sweden. These pieces are unique, each one has its own shape and form which allows me greater creative freedom. As the wood has to be dried and treated carefully many times before completion, each creation requires more than a years work before it is ready. 

This really is a product of nature – from the inspiration, to the raw materials, to the finished product. 

I hope the onlooker sees and feels the colours and atmosphere of northern Sweden and its large expanses of wilderness. I hope that my artwork will contribute to greater awareness of the old forests and threatened wildlife which still remains. 

Predators have always fascinated me especially wolves, lynx and owls, and these featur prominantly in my work – as does the Ladybird which for me represents the freedom and happiness I feel when creating these works of art. Each work has its own Ladybird.

Creation is life….
