Information about the artist / the group

I wander in the gardens of the forests. On light trails, I feel like I belong on the trail. Belonging to nature, the wind, the smells. Nature smells like past times on the skin.
Time doesn't matter, moments do. Everything vibrates in the wind.
Encountered moments, places, landscapes, animals, people leave traces on us. Paintings are created from traces. Stories are born.
I seize small moments in my paintings. I engrave memories and feelings on fabrics with acrylic paints. In my paintings, color is a feeling, a state of mind. I work in Jyväskylä at the Rifle Factory as part of the community of visual artists in Tourula. Nature and emotions are my biggest inspirations.
The picture of me in my studio was taken by Maija Keskinen.

Program during Konstrundan

In Jyväskylä, at the State Rifle Factory, we have a community of Tourula visual artists. We have a long corridor on the second floor in A crab, from which there are doors to the spaces of interesting artists. Konstrundani has several artists there and it's worth stopping by all the open spaces at the same time.
I have paintings displayed on the hallway wall as a small exhibition, and in my studio I talk about my art making and show paintings. Paintings are also available for purchase directly fr
