Drawing and creating artwork is a way for me to digest the world around me and the world inside me.

I’m Swedish and I ride around on a bicycle. I’ve been living in London since 2002. Before that I studied a BA in Visual Communications at Edinburgh College of Art and a foundation course at Chelsea College of Art and Design. I share a studio at Coldharbour Studios in south London with 3 talented artists. I do all my printmaking at Artichoke Print Workshop, just around the corner. If you like printmaking you would like this place.
Drawing is at the core of what I do. Most of the time an idea starts off in the sketchbook. There it stays while it gets processed, redrawn, reshaped, scrutinized and eventually discarded or developed into a print or a project. I draw for pleasure. I doodle when I don’t know what to draw. I draw when things are hard. Then the act of drawing is like a release valve to take the pressure off. Drawing can create some great ideas, but it can also take you down a rabbit hole of a pretty rubbish idea.

Beside all the art-malarkey I like food.
Eating food.
Cooking food.
And growing food.
I’m the proud owner of a densely populated wormery as well as four magnificent compost heaps in the corner of an allotment. I can make a mean tortilla and I have a tendency to disregard recipes.
