Let’s be like wildflowers. They are growing anywhere and everywhere. Blooming in all the places people thought they never would. Growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day, simply following the sun. Nature cherishes each brilliant, quirky bloom. A celebration of uniqueness and acceptance.

Let’s be like wildflowers. Not waiting for the storm to pass, but learning how to dance in the rain. Gently swaying to the sound of the wind. Let’s be brave and true. Embrace a slower pace of life. Making time to enjoy the sights, tastes, scents and sounds that you encounter. Eternally curious, authentic, open and playful and not afraid to step off the beaten path. Creating memories that you’ll treasure forever. Wandering barefoot, sharing, loving, gathering while enjoying the journey.

Let’s be like wildflowers.

I always had a thing for reusing materials. When I was younger, I inherited boxes of old treasures from my grandma and grandpa who was a painter too. From brushes, to ribbons, from paper to sewing templates. For this abstracted landscape artwork, I used their antique paper mixed with found paper from Canada and cut-outs from my old paintings. Dream away in a coral and chocolate landscape.

In Japan the ginkgo’s fan-shaped leaf has caried symbolism along with its singular beauty: A symbol of growth, protection, peace, strength and hope, a symbol of longevity and a symbol of love.

Ginko is also associated with duality, a concept that recognizes the feminine and masculine aspects of all living things, ying and yang. In mythology, it’s the tree of live while the leaf is the symbol for love. Thus, a lovely gift for yourself or a loved one.

Dancing to her own rhythm singing her song, coloring her rainbow wandering in her colored sky, writing her own poetry. A love story of her with her soul. Finding beauty in her own reflection.

Once on a beautiful autumn day a gorgeous canvas of golden ginkgo leaves carpeted our street. Beautiful yellow golden leaves everywhere. A magical feeling which was captured in this painting.

Dancing in the sea of flowers. The untamed beauty. Flowers everywhere in my hands and my hair. Softly breezes sways across the meadows. Dancing wildflowers here and there.

When I paint a Spring color palette, I think of a spring meadow filled with colorful flowers, bright, and fresh, full of life. Spring colors seems to me; curious, witty, adventurous, confident and eternally optimistic. The clear greens in the trees and fields, flowers blooming every where, and wildflowers along the side of the road. The landscape seems to be painted in watercolors and everything is awash in sunlight, it’s so energizing.

This painting was created during summer in a luscious garden with beautiful wildflowers. I love to combine pink. Let it be light, dark or raspberry bright – paired with green a sense of balance is created.

Women in beautiful colors,

Woven in togetherness,

Hand in hand, heart to heart.

Each hue a story,

Each shade a song,

In vibrant unity,

Woven with delicate threads.

A tapestry of women,

In colors so rich,

In wonder so deep,

Together we rise.

I painted this gingko in a vibrant orange, a color that bursts with positive energy and happiness. The color psychology of orange is optimistic and uplifting, inspiring creativity and rejuvenating our spirit.

I love the gingko tree in front of much house so much. In Japan the ginkgo’s fan-shaped leaf has caried symbolism along with its singular beauty: A symbol of growth, protection, peace, strength and hope, a symbol of longevity and a symbol of love.

I volunteered in the refugee camps on Lesbos in Greece. It touched me so deeply that I had to create an artwork out of these emotions and named it after a refugee from Syria: Aamer.

I am a river, clear as crystal every morning, my path drawn by the wind. I am a river going down over wide stones. The moon shimmers in jade green water. Follow the river.

I love to paint female faces with sparkling eyes. I always paint the eyes first, because I see so much in eyes. They are the window to our soul, telling us much about a person just by gazing into them.

Spring is here, the season of new beginnings, where doors open and bright colors return.

I love how the silence listens, how the stars around me are lit at night and how the dewdrops glisten. The light where peace shines, where all dreams are born.

Dreaming of a live in peace… Listening to the whispers within my sight. Floating freely through the air around me. Seeking a place to settle in our hearts. The heart is like a bird, free to fly, spreading her wings soaring in the sky, flying away and feeling freedom. I love those peaceful moments of the heart when mind and spirit finally run free following the path less taken. Like a bird bathing in the soft clouds shimmering in the sun, showing the beauty to be free and to live life.

In natural peace all love is born. Let’s spread the love, let hope glow bright.

The female body, in all it's shapes, is always a big inspiration for me. I love the individuality, the small flaws making it just perfect.

This painting is inspired by a woman I met during my travels to the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. Her eyes and facial expression were so captivating, so strong, so full of love. I sketched her a lot and finished this painting after coming back home to my atelier.

There is a magical touch imparted by the flowers and their softness. I think it has a positive influence on our minds. From printed to real flowers, let your home bloom anew with this painting.

Female faces are always a big inspiration to me. I enjoy especially drawing the eyes and this is what I start with. It is the most difficult part of the painting but also the most exciting to find out her expression, her character while drawing.
