Time flies when you’re having fun! These past few months sure have been busy… Packed with to-do-lists and fun opportunities I never ever dreamt of. Weird thing is I didn’t foresee, or wish for, any of this to happen…

Life is full of surprises both good ones and not so good ones. Perhaps that’s the Universe’s way of telling me I’m alive? 

My kind of gardening

I just love abstracting nature motifs  when in the studio. As you might remember from an earlier blog, I’ve been abstracting parts of my garden for the PAE exhibition in Texas, USA this month.

And I’m happy to share that my painting Hanna’s garden was sold to a happy artist and collector.

Painting with Mr Art Cat

One thing I do love is painting with my wonderful furry helper, Mr Art Cat. Don’t know what I’d do without him…

Last month I brought home some new canvases. I just love starting new paintings…

If everything goes as I hope, these 4 canvases will be on display in November…

Fault Line: Gaza 355

Next month I look forward to show 9 small paintings in Wales. I honestly believe that through art we can change the world.

This is my small contribution for the Fault Line: Gaza 355 exhibition at Oriel Q Gallery in Narberth, Wales in memory of Hind and the thousands of children killed in Gaza and for those still living there.

Thank you for organizing this opportunity to help make the world a little better!

Busy days in my studio

The past couple of months I’ve been busy working on some new motifs for some of my ongoing series. An artist friend recently asked me why I prefer working on several parralell projects instead of finishing one at the time?

My answer is: Because I love to play and have fun and there are so many fun things to explore.

But it seems Mr Cat is not so happy with the outcome…

Life balance

Some days I think I need a vacation from my own life… So what to do when life is kicking your butt?

Besides roaming the woods with Mr Cat, I prefer spending slow evenings on my balcony with my best furry friend. 

Autumn light is even more beautiful with a few candles and a cup of tea. And of course, Mr Cat also gets some nice treats while we read a good book or just chat about life in general…

Local group exhibition coming up

Last year I think I turned down like 4 exhibitions, both local and international. But surprise, surprise! I’m taking part in 3 shows this autumn. 

For the first time in several years I’ve agreed to join the Lions Nordberg Høstutstilling in Oslo next month and will show 4 brand new paintings. 

Sometimes it’s nice to say yes!

Have a wonderful day!
