Growing up in Sweden I was always captivated by the powerful stories and characters found within Norse mythology and folklore. These tales spoke of gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures. Through abstraction and textured layered paintings, I weave layers upon layers of paint, graphite, marks and symbols as I explore the otherworldly aspects of my cultural heritage. I let the paint flow, mix, and interact, uncovering hidden layers and unexpected narratives. Living in the Hudson Valley has further influenced my artistic practice. This region evoke a deep connection to the Scandinavian landscapes of my upbringing. My work is an invitation to reconnect with our ancestral past, and a celebration of the enduring power of myth and tradition in the modern world.
