I am a Norwegian multidisciplinary artist based in Manchester, UK, currently exploring my indigenous Sami roots—a discovery that has begun to illuminate ancestral threads woven through my work in ways I'm only beginning to understand.

Born in Hammerfest, at the edge of the world where the Barents Sea meets the Arctic sky, I carry the stark contrast of polar light and darkness into my work, using it as both metaphor and methodology. After formative years in Oslo, I trained as a glass blower in Sweden's Crystal Kingdom, learning to bend light itself before relocating to the UK, where my work has continuously evolved through diverse media and theoretical frameworks.

For over a decade (2007-2020), my socially engaged practice transformed Alexandra Park in Manchester, reaching thousands through the "Pankhurst in the Park" program and founding the Alexandra Arts collective. This sustained intervention transformed public space into a living canvas for artistic exploration and social reconfiguration, echoing an ancestral relationship to place and the natural world.

From this work emerged the Art as Activism Toolkit, originally designed to educate young people with creative resistance strategies. Now, under the Peace Movement Remix, it represents a deeper confrontation with the mechanics of systemic control and the radical power of self-liberation. Conscious Sculpture sits at its foundation - using art to shift collective consciousness in ways that feel increasingly connected to Indigenous wisdom about the interconnectedness of all things.

During the pandemic, I began work on 'Lux Medicina', an exploration of light and darkness as forces of healing. This inward journey continues to shape my expanding body of work, which interrogates power, language, and transformation. My current practice includes text-based works like "Unite & Conquer," "Hopeium," and "Powerful Beyond Belief" - soon to be released. Each one a probe into the liminal spaces where personal and public transformation converge.

My practice defies medium and market, existing as a continuous dialogue between perception and reality, the seen and unseen, the personal and the collective. As I delve deeper into my Arctic heritage, I am discovering how this ancient way of seeing, where art, spirituality, and survival are inseparable, has been quietly informing my work all along.
