I was born in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1971. The closeness to the sea has prevailed throughout my life and in my art. At the age of 11, I moved with my parents and three siblings to England where we had our family home for 15 years.

I attended the international college of St Clares in Oxford. This is where my love for painting began. I completed my Master of Arts at the University of St Andrews. During this time, I became convinced that painting was my passion and calling in life. In 1996, I moved to London and for a year at the Chelsea College of Art.

Not knowing how to start my career as a painter, I decided to move back to Gothenburg where I threw myself into the life of an artist in 1998. I have been painting and exhibiting full time since then. Mainly in Sweden but also with exhibitions in London, Europe and the USA.

I am a mother of two beautiful sons, Ruben and Orlando. My painting studios are located by the harbour in Långedrag, Gothenburg and in Palma de Mallorca.
