Overview
About Me
Im a visual artist from Sweden, and work at a university (design & innovation dep.) Am always curious of people and the world and how we can reflect and improv it together. Lived in London, Brussels, took my MFA in Stockholm & Glasgow. Then lived in Rio, Toronto and Oslo, then back in Stockholm. I have 2 lovely children (my 18 year old son lives at home). I love to cook (use resources at hand ). I live in a botanical garden by a lake close to the city (9 min walk to subway).
FYI: I’m in quite an intense work situation and need to travel a lot with work so can only host now and again. And when home it’s more evenings I’m free.
