Born in Oslo, Norway 1952 / Live in Oslo /
Watercolor painter / Member of Nordic Watercolour Society.
I have painted all my time.
Norwegian painter. Statement Watercolor is my medium. I adore it! The technics with
pigment and lots of water gives me the challenge I need to express what I think
and feel. Finding the essence of everything, big or small, is my agenda. I
like to express the changes in moods and atmospheres. Calm restlessness. Balance
and no balance. I like to bring the history of art, that I have picked up
through life, with me into the world of watercolor. Less
