Artist’s Statement
I was born in 1970 in Finland and I graduated from Art School in 2000. I am a Member of Finnish Printmakers' Association and Finnish Woodcut Artists' Society.
I have been practicing printmaking and woodcuts since 1997 and embroidery since 2010. Currently I live in Helsinki with my husband and our three children. My main sources of inspiration are circle of life, nature, human, and emotions. I am interested in the continuity of life and the moments that manifest the different layers of life are precious to me....
