“- Most of the subjects I paint have eyes. I love to start with simple charcoal strokes which ends up with three- dimensional shapes looking at me from the easel. The expression is extremely important. At that moment when the eyes are placed, I’ve got a new friend!»

She expresses herself figuratively. The images give the impression of speed and movement. The characters are the centerpiece of the room – what happens in the space around is not so important”.

In the year 2014, she started with the theme “Folklore”, inspired by Norwegian folk costumes. These are time-consuming and detailed paintings. During this process “The Happy goats” appeared. The purpose of the goats is to elicit a smile. Feedback tells that they do.
