I am a member of The Association of Norwegian Visual Artists (NBK).
NBK «is a membership organization committed to promote and enhance the intellectual, social, legislative and economic interests of professional visual artists.» Please see web site of NBK, https://www.norskebilledkunstnere.no/english/.
ABOUT ME AND MY PROJECTS
«I am interested in communication and relationship between one another and I am wondering what life is about. The reality is complicated and difficult, and I try to convey my thoughts and experiences through my art. I have to choose and exclude things. I try to reflect sensitivity of time. I use tools sometimes, that provide resistance in my work, such as rustic, sand, text, numbers, letters, trash and old newsprint. I hope that my art will touch and enhance life experience. I love challenges and I am passionate about what I am doing. It is important to have fun and keep going. Life is exciting then.»
