Information about the artist / the group

I have worked as a professional artist since 1998 and during that time held several solo exhibitions. I have also participated many domestic exhibitions, and foreign group exhibitions for instance in Germany, Denmark and Estonia. I am a trained sculptor and do both traditional stone and bronze sculptures as well as installations and environmental art using natural or different recycled materials. Works made with these different techniques usually describe small details of peoples, life in general, especially women’s daily experience. In my latest, large-scale ink drawings I picture peoples´ vulnerability when they confront unexpected situations like environmental hazards.

Program during Konstrundan

I have open studio in Konstrundan and there it is possible to see my works from the past years.


Driving directions

When coming from Turku turn to right just before Hessund bridge to Skråbbontie. Continue about 1700 m, and on left side you see the road sign to Grönvik where my ateljé is (follow the road some 20 m down).
