Information about the artist / the group

I am a visual artist living in Helsinki and working in Karjalohja. Studio Tuulhattu, the studio I founded in 2023, is located on the border between Karjalohja and Mustio. I work multidisciplinary with various sculpture materials, but also with video art. My works are exhibition ensembles presented in galleries or commissioned works of public art. In recent years, concrete and tapestries have been my main materials. My works often describe social themes through black humor. I am originally a clothing designer who graduated from the Lahti Institute of Design, but after changing professions I have been working as a freelance artist since 2015. I graduated from the sculpture department of the Academy of Fine Arts and also trained as a specialist in public art.

Program during Konstrundan

I am currently working on my solo exhibition to be presented in Porvoo Art Hall in November 2024. Both finished works and unfinished processes can be seen in the workspace. In addition, the premises display my older works as well as permanently installed art in the premises, such as a ceramic relief.
