When I was young my favorite time of day was when I was allowed to draw and paint. In spite of that I pursued a Bachelors in business and finance instead of art. It was not until after marrying and moving from Sweden to the US that I took up paining professionally. This was a wonderful way to do what I loved while raising a family. As my children grew into teenagers I decided to pursue another interest of mine, psychology. In 2018 I completed a Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology. I now have the wonderful opportunity to focus on and share my art, while also helping others feel better emotionally.
I mainly use watercolors as I love how fluid and alive this medium is. I have ventured into oils and even pastels but I tend to fall back to watercolors. Some of my portraits are in oil, as are some reproductions of Anders Zorn and Carl Larson.
The paintings included in this website are mostly those still in my private collection. Naturally, the majority of the artworks created are no longer in my possession, as I was represented by two galleries and the originals were sold. I kept many of my favorites and hope to have another show when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, prints are available for purchase. Click on the shop button above for more info.
I grew up in the Swedish archipelago and the majority of my artwork is influenced by this amazing landscape. Initially, painting was a way for me to cope with the homesickness I felt after marrying and moving from Sweden to the US. My very first art show was in my parents' garage in Sweden, and it resulted in invitations to more professional shows. I have been fortunate every summer for the last 30 years to continue to finding much of my inspirations during my trips back to visit family and friends. As a psychologist I often talk to m patients about the voice we all have in our heads. The voice that often times is very critical of ourselves. I have found, that when I paint, the voice in my head calms down, stops criticizing, and turns into a friend. It is my hope that you will have the same experience looking at my paintings.
