I’m an artist. I paint and I draw.
Schooled in the use of traditional materials and media, the foundation of my way of working derives from the nineteenth century Ateliers in France.
At times I work digitally. Both as a tool in developing ideas and projects for painting, and as an art in it’s own right. Finished work involves concept art of various kinds, mattepaintings, story boards etc.
I also enjoy writing.
I was born in Märsta, Sweden. Growing up I lived in three countries – Sweden, Belgium and Germany.
I’m Swedish-American, and I enjoy dual citizenship. I work out of Stockholm, Sweden.
I’m constantly looking for work and representation. You are welcome to contact me with any offer or prospect.
