I am a watercolor artist originally from Sweden. I am also a wife, mother and grandmother of three sparkling children. I love challenges, freedom, the infinite expansive sky, magic, ancient wisdom and meditation. 

I can best describe myself as a wildflower. Many wildflowers are small and inconspicuous. Hardly anybody sees them. Sometimes people regard them as weeds. They grow on their own accord, wherever they choose to take root. No seeding, pruning or watering. They just love the light of the sun’s beams, and if you take a closer look at them they are exquisite.

Images and beauty have always held an attraction for me - that is how I like to communicate. It feels more natural to me to express myself through my art rather than through words. My preferred media is watercolor, pencil and ink.  

I love to be immersed in my studio, and I love to paint bhakti inspired art.

Over the years as a watercolor painter and illustrator, I have struggled through obstacles both material and spiritual. Fine art is a craft, and the skills to master drawing and watercolor come only after years of  trials and tedious, exacting practice.

I find unlimited inspiration from the rich history and culture of ancient India.

I hope you will find something you like.
