Ceramics, painting, sculpture, photo, digital art, more or less self-taught artist my grandmother, insisted on creating in both ceramics and painting. Started early with ceramics, 1968-69, picture-creating yet earlier, 1977-79. Theater, ceramics, painting course at the Östergrevie folk high school in 1981. I went one year at Skåne Painting School, living in Copenhagen since 1984. In 1985, I started building a house, ready to move in 1997. I moved into my self-built house of recycled stone, decorated floor tiles in ceramics, wall reliefs, carved doors. When I built, I lived in different places on factory premises.
In 1993, I moved over my ceramic workshop from my parents' home in Sweden to Amager, Denmark, where I built my first large oven for sculpture, tableware, and in 97 I moved my workshop once again. This time to where my house is located, I built a big oven, which I made sculptures, and made dinnerware for Japanese restaurant sticks and sushi.
In 2002, I got banned by the state to have my workshop there then I was once again forced to demolish and move the workshop, this time to Simrishamn in Sweden where I worked mostly with small sculptures and built a movable large oven, and in 2014 I moved my workshop once more to a cow stall, in Helsingör Denmark, created some great sculptures. So finally, in 2016, I had to take over my neighbour's self-built house, where I built a permanent giant oven of 1350 litres, and here I have created lots of sculptures and large decorated vases and in my own house where I paint pictures, never give up your dream.
