Information about the artist / the group

My works start with everyday life and everyday happenings, which I draw in my sketchbook.
There is always a story behind my pictures and a dash of quiet joy and wonder.
I’m a printmaker which is an old traditional craftsmanship. I do metal graphics as well as woodcuts. In intaglio I’m fascinated by the drawing like line of the drypoint and the deep black of the mezzotinto. The paintinglike woodcut is a conversation with a woodblock and the experiments with colour layers.

Program during Konstrundan

There will be an exhibition of new works and works which are under process. There is also possible to watch working process, and discuss about the methods and ways of making pictures.
