Abstract monoprints are where I love to rely on my subconscious and connect to internal reactions. Emotions instead of being a pure observer. Awakening the senses, what do you see when looking?

With soft and fluid movements like ballet, gentle and graceful. Balancing, connecting and embracing harmonius life with all ups and downs, highs and lows. Dynamic. Nurturing my soul with positive thoughts. Dancing though life…

And she looks like the moon. So close and yet, so far. Following her intuition. Enchanting like a blue moon.

This portrait was originally painted on linen with a Japanese brush. The unpolished strokes, the imperfections – all of them celebrating serendipity. This is where the magic is.

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

I believe that an art piece can make us feel joyful or strong and powerful or it can take us daydreaming into another world. I think that looking at art can relieve stress, helps you relax or stimulate your own creativity or imagination. My artworks are supposed to be peaceful happy places. They should serve as a space for the mind to be still and calm the eyes to rest from a busy world.

It’s a beautiful day. Let’s take a bath in the warm sunlight. It’s a beautiful day. Follow the love, follow the light.

I have always been called a dreamer. My dreams and vulnerability have become my greatest assets. I followed my heart, created my own positive poetic dream world through my painting and collages. Being out of reality and sourcing energy helps me being in reality. Dream with me and discover your own flow, peaceful and calm.

I love to paint landscapes and flowers, and especially 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…

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.

“Indah” means beautiful in Indonesia and I painted this portrait on one of my many travels to this magical chain of islands. Beauty wherever you go, inside and out…

Close your eyes in order to see… Trust.

Love to paint landscapes and flowers ‘en plein air’, outdoors. The sun is going, clouds are moving, animals are flying around… Love the process of observing, listening, the brush strokes, and mixing the colors.

Painting landscapes is a beautiful thing for your eye to travel through. It’s more then just painting the scene, I really want to feel it through painting.

When I paint, I feel it and I get into it.

Landscape and flower paintings are bringing the peace of nature into our homes and calm our souls, and inspire you to live a life connected with nature.

I love to wander in the streets of Kyoto. She is like an ancient goddess in a beautiful flowing silk kimono patterned with blossoms.

During a lovely talk with my Finnish friend she told me about “sisu”, a word that implies “inside”. Translated from Finnish it means “inner strength” which is a unique form of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. However, I remember being a kid that had to much “sisu” as a way to survive difficult times. Now I know that healthy sisu means asking for help, knowing when to take a break and taking time to sort through feelings rather than rushing to the next event. Hence, I painted “La balance”.

Longing for summer days with lilac skies and a warm breeze like a soft caress.

Morning dew. Mirror the magical starlight to bless our day after a peaceful night. Morning dew. In the first chill of morning light like tiny pearls upon the leaves. They make mornings a bliss…

Serene Moonlight, pearl clouds glowing illuminating the dawn on meandering waves of violet painted waters. A hidden pure soul emerged from an ancient shell in the deep ocean. In the sunshine she will shine. Precious mother of pearl.

“Nongkrong” – in Indonesian language “relaxing & hanging out with friends”. At the time I was a student in Indonesia. We sat together with friends having coffee and talking. “Nongkrong” is all about the pleasures of sharing time with friends.

This artwork is all about my love to be in nature, embracing the sweet moments of doing nothing.

The lighter side of life a little bit slower… A little bit less prepared leaving room for life to surprise you with so many wonderful things. Coloring the lines finding the silver lining. Light & pure. Softness with strength, new sensations. The light dances with the purity of the natural.
