| About the Artist |
My inspiration is based around mythology, nature and the industrial world that surrounds us. The planet and the universe is also a big inspiration. I try to take a positive view and create a magic vision of a situation or personna |

| Education and biography |
I went through standard public education and then went on to study basic psychology to work with mentally handicapped children and adults.
I always have had a passion for drawing, perspectives and sculpture and was given the possibility to add artistic workshops within my work place |

| Future shows |
We organised with my partner an exhibit last autumn in Paris themed around Mythology that is showcased on the site.
We are now working on our Gyraphres and Eiffel Tower series as well as other smaller articles. We will then be preparing a NEW exhibit to be completed for 2010. |
