WELCOME!

Creativity is a gift, blessing my life with joy and magic. Thankful for this gift I want to express and share this joy of life and my love for nature through my artwork. 

I'm constantly inspired by the small and great wonders of our nature - the four seasons, forests and rocks, plants and animals, as well as wild flowing waters or birds' nests. On the other hand, ordinary everyday objects can trigger my imagination - these spontaneous ideas often result to playful paintings  with a touch of fairytale or silent humour.  For me,  each painting is a visual story and each viewer interprets it in his/her own individual way.   Art through joy of life - joy of life through art!

Welcome to explore my portfolio to see a selection of my original artwork - mainly watercolors on different surfaces, plus some soft pastel paintings and latest gel print graphics.    Some of these paintings already found a new home; the others are still available direct from me. My artwork has been published in company calendars and international exhibition catalogues.

Certain  paintings are available only through TAIKO, the online gallery for Finnish Art
