DESCRIPTION
My artistic way of working is to see what is already there and what can I do with it. The ideas are in the subject and I am able to see and to visualize them. The material I work with has its own quality and possibilities and together with my technique, my handwriting the paintings are created.

artist
workWorking as an artist in own atelier first in Holland these days in Finland The work consists of monumental levels build up in many color layers. The starting point is the space of the under-layer. The visual reality gives motives which are used as an assignment, but recognizing at the end is not a goal.It is the light that visualizes the world on the canvas or paper. The Finnish light is remarkable and inspires to paint
in a new way.
Educating art more than 35 years to students of a teacher training college and worked with children and adults in the private AllaprimA art-school in Holland, now working on Saksala ArtRadius Finland.An authority in the field of children’s drawing and painting with a lot of experiences in education. During the years a huge collection of children’s drawings, made by children of the AllaprimA Art-school, existed. This collection is used by training teachers, giving workshops, making exhibitions and researching the way children see their world. used materials and techniques:oil- and acryl-paint, gouache, Indian ink, mono-print, crayon and pencil
