Artist’s Statement

I work in Turku as a visual artist and a print maker. I combine photography, drawing and sewing.

I am interested in collaborating with people in making art. It can be, for example, working processes in your own image, projects combining science and art, or art work in nursing homes together with the residents. I find it meaningful interaction to work with others for example in multicultural and community art projects, teaching graphic arts with my Pop up -workshop or making portraits.

I´m a member of The Association of Finnish Printmakers, Turku Artists´association, Rettigin kuvataiteilijat association/Gallery Aski charter member, Turku Printmakers association, Salo Artist´s association, Kuvasto and PAND - Performers and Artists for Nuclear Disarmament.
