We like to surround ourselves with beauty. It calms us, it makes us feel good and gives us joy.
​
But we also like to be seen and heard, taken seriously and treated with respect. We often need words of encouragement and sometimes even a litte push to get or keep us going because, you know, tough times. We all need a good laugh to loosen us up or get our minds off things.
​
All of the above are my reasons to create. Put a powerful statement, an encouragement, a funny scene, a motto on the wall for the words to be there when you need them. Wear a shirt with a statement, so everyone can see where you're coming from.
I love art that makes me think.
​
I love art that makes me smile.
​
I love art that conveys an emotional message.
​
I also love beautiful things but in my own art I value all of the above higher than the common "pretty". And, honestly, there are so many excellent artists out there to create beautiful pictures.
​
Since the beginning of 2021 I work mainly with linoleum and rubber printing blocks in sizes ranging between thumbnail up to A3 ( roughly 30 x40 cm).
There is this lovely imperfection to handmade prints and the combination of different inks and paper (or fabric) adds to the possibilities of this technique.
​
As of this year I am adding screenprinting to my portfolio. I will soon-ish show my first results here.
