How it started

For many years, I worked as an architect. I loved to draw, create spaces, choose materials, and build. Yet, something was missing. So, I pursued a master's degree in Urbanism. I hoped planning sustainable communities would make my work more meaningful. In many ways, it did. But still, I longed for more.

In 2017, I moved from Oslo to Copenhagen, hoping that a change of scenery would bring new perspectives. I found great opportunities but also challenges. I had a hard time understanding the restlessness that I felt. After experiencing a health breakdown, I was fortunate to take time off to reflect and realign myself. I found some old paintings from my childhood. I loved to paint and draw as a kid but forgot to nurture this part of me in the stress of growing up. So, one day, I pulled out my old brushes and watercolours. The joy of creating and the calm I felt, I came home myself.

Life's journey is a mystery. While I'm still searching for answers, I find solace in creating. I believe that each of us has a unique gift, a way of expression that is natural to us. I call it your 'thing'. And it doesn't have to be within art. It could be anything that brings you joy and a sense of being in the flow. At least for myself, painting softens my heart and calms my mind.

In my sixth year of practice, I've learned that growing a business takes time. The most important lesson I've learned is about courage. It's about having the courage to be vulnerable, to showcase my work, and to trust the outcome.

Thank you for being here!
