About me:

I am a professional visual artist based in Brooklyn, specializing in non-figurative painting, drawing, and sculpture. Born and raised on the southwest coast of Norway, I have been living and working between Norway and New York City since 2012, and am now primarily based in New York. My work has been exhibited both in the U.S. and internationally, and I currently maintain my studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

In addition to my practice as a visual artist, I have over twenty years of experience as an independent Teaching Artist, primarily in Norway. In this capacity, I have taught children, teenagers, and art college students within schools and cultural institutions. Since spring 2025, I have expanded this rewarding role to New York City, where I have established a practice teaching art classes for adults, and also young students. This has led me to host group classes across several prominent arts and cultural organizations, including Scandinavia House, Express Newark, Residency Unlimited, and the Bronxville Adult School.

My classes include personalized, one-on-one sessions in the comfort of your home or preferred location, as well as group workshops for up to 10 people.
