About me / Om meg
I started painting in 1967 when I was living in Modum community in Norway. It was a developing, educational and good arts enviroment, with several welknown artists in Modum association of Artists. I painted figurative paintings in oil for about 20 years in Modum . When I moved to Oslo in 1990 I got member in Oslo association of Artists. I took part in lessons in drawing, like qroquis.
My new teacher, Nirmal Singh an indian artist, learned me several paintingsmethod by using acrylpainting. Then I started to paint abstracte pictures in acryl.
I have been by Nydalen artschool in Oslo for several years , wich gave me knowledge about several artists and their paintings. These knowledge has given me interest and curiosity to develope my own possibility for painting.
When I visit the forrest I often use watercolour and paint figurative pictures.
My abstracte pictures give me inpiration and pleassure every day because I like to use my creativity to mix all type of colors .

Jeg startet med malerkunsten i 1967 da jeg bodde i Modum kommune i Buskerud. Her var et utviklende, lærerikt og godt kunstmiljø, med mange dalevende kjente billedkunstnere Jeg ble medlem i Modum maleklubb, som innhentet flere gode veiledere i malekunsten. Den gangen malte jeg figurative malerier i olje med velkjente motiver fra naturen i Modum. Mine malerier var allerede da ganske fargerike.
I begynnelsen av 1990 flyttet jeg til Oslo og meldte meg inn i Oslo Maleklubb. Her deltok jeg på tegnekurs, med blant annet i croquis tegning, og mine malerier ble korrigert av lærere fra Kunstakademiet. Dette var en artig og lærerrikt tid.
Jeg startet med akrylmalingen fordi jeg var ofte på besøk i Spania, og akrylmalingen tørket mye raskere enn oljemalingen før hjemreisen til Norge.
Kursene med Nirmal Singh ga meg kunnskap om fargesammensetning og flere malemetoder i bruk av akrylmalingen. Maleriene mine fikk etterhvert et mer abstrakt uttrykk i sterke farger. Jeg maler også akvareller når jeg går tur i skog og mark, slik at de figurative kunstuttrykkene blir holdt vedlike.
Idag maler jeg som oftest abstrakte malerier i akryl som gir meg glede og inspirasjon i hverdagen. Jeg er fargeglad, men liker også duse farger.
