I pretty much adore countryside drives and long walks on misty days, the smell of the sea, dusk with dramatic skies, the sound of an owl, late night snacks, long conversations over spiced rum and ginger ale, finding beauty in the imperfect and surreal, tending to my vegetable patch and watching giant sunflowers turn with the sun, jumping into the sea or a lake on a summers evening, at the end of a busy day, watching my kids play from under the shade of a tree, making snow angels and getting a little tickle of ice-cold snow under the collar, the golden treetops of late September and dark winter morning frost. There is nothing minimalist about me, I see way too much beauty in the details and find the real wear and tear of life fascinating.
My mind equally needs chaos and calm to thrive.
I married my husband; a poet, ballet dancer, filmmaker on a rock overlooking the Baltic sea in 1999...and we have 4 boys, two of whom are now adults. Time flies and all that.  After living in London U.K. and Victoria, Canada we moved back to my place of birth: Gotland, Sweden a few years ago.  
We now live on an organic smallholding just north of the walled city of Visby. Our new home came with acres and acres of woodland, farmland, a big meadow! 
​I am usually the first on the dance floor and cannot sit still even if I try when a good soul track comes on. This occasionally embarrass my kids.

I am frequently seen teaching yoga, cooking dahl, and cuddling cats and  have a background in graphic art, dance and alternative education.

As an exhibiting photographic artist as well as a wedding and events (and more) photographer, I feel incredibly lucky to be able to work behind the viewfinder, it's not only my work but my passion.
