The Artist
I was born in Fredrikstad, a small town east of Oslo, in 1959. My family moved to Oslo, where we lived for a few years. When I was 12 years old we moved to Bergen, my father´s hometown. My father always made drawings for us. This was an inspiration not only for me, but also for two of my siblings who became good cartoonists.
After completing high school, I moved to The Netherlands, where I worked with children and young people with mental disabilities. There I became acquainted with Rudolf Steiner´s anthroposophy. During my time in The Netherlands I also began making furniture. I came back to Norway in 1983 and started a family, we established ourselves in Bergen and in 1986 I attended the art school for one year.
My interest in art was always there, but it was in 1993, that circumstances in life made me decide to move eastward with my three children, to continue my art education. In 1995 I attended a 2 year art school in Sweden. By 1997 we where back in Bergen, and in 1999 I decided to try to make a living with my art.
I founded “Kvams Flisespikkeri”, where I produced and sold different types of wall cabinets in wood. I let myself be inspired by carvings and shapes from our old Stave churches and wooden boats. In 2004 I had the opportunity to rent a studio and gallery at Bryggen in Bergen. It is in this location that I have, for the last 12 years, made my wood block prints, lino cuts, paintings, watercolors, etchings, etc.
