Year 2023
Last year was a bit of a bummer for my art journey. My wrist decided to take a vacation in March (I got tendonitis and also slipped on ice with the injured hand and everything got worse). I was not able to create much new art and was left with just a handful of small drawings done with my injured hand. On the bright side, I discovered a new talent – using my left hand for everyday tasks! 😅
Despite the wrist drama, I still managed to pull off three art exhibitions (well, they were all planned beforehand...before THAT hand drama). I was also able to throw three epic burlesque events with my partner in crime, Hanna, and even cooked up a new solo performance. Who said art can't be a rollercoaster ride?

Art during lockdown
The covid years were difficult time for me. I had a new job as an IT consultant and several customers and demanding projects. A global pandemic and some isolation from the rest of the world and difficulties with this and that.
BUT! despite that I managed to do art and had some exhibitions and sold several paintings. Art is always the best getaway :)
Below iis a pic of me and my daugther at Galleria Fogga Veden Varassa exhibition in Sptember 2021
and this drawing of a tired baby bird describes my covid feelings the best :D

Back to painting!
It was great to have an exhibition again! It was of course weird in these weird times as well. There was no exhibition opening like usually because of covid-19. For me this exhibition was however a great motivation to get back to painting. I've had an almost 3 years break in painting.
When my daughter was born I was very inspired to do paintings' and I created some of my best work. When she grew up a bit more life became however so busy that I rather started to do drawings than paintings. Paintings make a mess and take several hours. Drawings are much easier and less messy. You can work on a drawing for 30min and put it aside and continue later.
So due to the busy life with my wonderful daughter my paintings have been a bit on a break. Now she is however bigger and we can even paint together. She often does her drawings or own little paintings while I am painting :)
Thank you everybody who came to the exhibition and I'm very happy that some of my work found a new home! Thank you once again Galleria Fogga! See upcoming exhibitions at: www.fogga.fi

Twin Peaks UK festival 2019 art gallery
I'm very happy to announce that my Twin Peaks bird trilogy drawings will be on display next weekend 5th & 6th October 2019 at the Twin Peaks UK Festival in London at the Stoke Newington Town Hall. The event has a whole art gallery dedicated to Twin Peaks inspired art. The Twin Peaks UK Festival is officially licensed by Twin Peaks Productions.
I'm a big Twin Peaks fan myself. Have been since I was 13 years old and the series came out originally. This is also the first time that my art is on display in the United Kingdom, so this is awesome to me on many levels :)

Garden of death
Hemulen in the garden of death. |
Combining two of my favorit artists in this picture; Tove Jansson and Hugo Simberg.
Tove Jansson (1914 -2001) is one of the best known artist from Finland.
She was a multi-talented artist and author who is mostly remembered as a creator of the Moomins.
The weird and friendly garden enthusiastic Hemulen is one of my favorit characters.
Hugo Simberg (1873 -1917) was a significant symbolic painter and graphic artist from Finland.
Angels, demons and death played a big role in his art. His tender and humorous images of death invites the viewer to consider mortality in a new light.

Animal skull mandala
Small update on my previous post :) I've already sold a lot of prints and several originals at the Mikä-art store in the beautiful Fiskars village! Fiskars village is one of my favorite places in South Finland. It's full of interesting stores and the location is historical and absolutely beautiful.

One day and two gallery openings
Today was a super art day! I had two gallery openings on one day! I've been doing a lot of animal ink drawings these past two years and now most of them are on display at the library of Nummela. There is also a new art store at the beautiful Fiskars village called Mikä Art. There are now original paintings and drawing for sale and a few prints as well. I'm so happy for all these opportunities to show my art!
