Information about the artist / the group

I am a 42-year-old Sámi artist. I have worked in many fields such as fisherman, cook, reindeer herder and now as an artist. I have studied art for some years in southern Norway in Kragerö. I paint, sculpt, write, photograph and make music. So, as is typical here in the north, many things are done and life is not separate from art, but it is often comprehensive. I want to point out here that here in the north we too can choose a creative field just like any other job. We need artists and creative people to solve the collective challenges before us.

Program during Konstrundan

In previous exhibitions, I have involved visitors in making art, and I thought I would do the same now. The studio's doors are open to everyone anyway. The studio will also be an exhibition space where the works and the artist will be displayed in perfect harmony. Of course, there will be refreshments and snacks, as well as discussions about art and life. In other words, living people wonder as usual, but now you can also try the arts yourself.

Driving directions

There is only one road, follow that. The studio is located 1,5 kilometers from the center of Karigasniemi towards Utsjoki.
