� I WAS BORN IN NORWAY, AND I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ALONG THE WAY INCLUDING 7 YEARS IN HOUSTON. AFTER WORKING AS AN ARTIST FOR 15 YEARS, I AM NOW WORKING ON MY CERTIFICATE IN PAINTING AT GLASSELL SCHOOL OF ART, MFAH. � I AM FOCUSING ON NARRATIVES USING WORDS THAT I ASSOCIATE WITH THE THEME I WANT TO EXPLORE. IT'S THEMES FROM LIFE IN GENERAL. IT CAN BE THE STATE OF THE WORLD OR A STAGE IN LIFE AT THE MOMENT THE PAINTING IS DEVELOPING. IT CAN BE AN OLD WORKING-GLOVE THAT TELLS ITS STORY, OR A FEELING THAT DEVELOPED DURING A ROAD TRIP. I HAVE BEEN USING MIXED MEDIA IN MY ARTWORKS; COLLAGE, SPRAY PAINT, OIL AND ACRYLIC PAINT. � LATELY I HAVE BEEN USING OIL STICKS AS A MEDIUM. I COMBINE DIFFERENT OTHER MEDIUM SUCH AS CHARCOAL, PENCILS AND ACRYLICS. I AM FASCINATED BY THE POWER OF LINES. I�M EXPERIMENTING BY PUTTING DIFFERENT SHAPES OF LINES TOGETHER, BY CHANGE THICKNESS AND COLOR. TOGETHER THEY ALL SHAPE A NEW AND GREATER FORM. THE LINE IS A VERY POWERFUL TOOL. THE IMAGES MADE ARE REFLECTING MOVEMENTS, CONNECTIONS AND EMOTIONS. THE COLORS USED ARE BRIGHT AND VIBRANT.
