Art is political. 

Art shows something new in the world, something that wasn’t there before.

Art will challenge what is already there.

Art will show another world.

This is political.

I am a painter, and I live and work in Bodø, north of the Arctic Circle.

I had my art education at the Norwegian Arts and Crafts College in Oslo (SHKS) and at the Edinburgh College of Art, Scotland. I also hold a cand. filol degree (master) in Art History from the University of Bergen. 

I have shown my work in very many places in Norway, and also in London, Seattle, Murmansk, Wroclaw, Stockholm, Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Paris, Vilnius and other places. 

Several public and private institutions in Norway have acquired my work,
