ABOUT ME

I graduated from Kunstakademie Rotterdam in 1993
with a degree in graphic art, secondary subject painting.
I live and work in Central Finland in Arttown Mänttä and periodically in Finnish Lappland in Ivalo.

I was awarded the Mikkeli award in 2011 and the South-Savo art prize in 2016. I work as an independent artist, artist-curator and art educator. During 2022-2024 I am working on an Arts Promotion Center Finland artist grant.
