Joy of life + joy of art

 

As a self-taught visual artist I am committed to life-long learning  to find new ways to express my joy of life. I live and work in Iittala village, surrounded by beautiful, inspiring nature.

 

My art journey started with traditional  watercolours. I also learned special techniques, such as watercolour batik painting on rice paper and painting on the synthetic Yupo paper. I deepened my painting skills at several workshops of well known professional watercolour artists, and love to participate at international watercolour events.

 

At the moment, I spend my days in the wonderful world of graphics, creating hand-printed  monotypes, monoprints and mixed media artworks, based on the gel printing technique. Soft pastel paintings, linocuts and encaustics are further media I use. Each of these boosts my creativity and helps me to grow as an artist.

 

However, all these techniques are only my tools; endless enthusiasm and lively imagination are my strengths. My works often show a playful approach and include hidden stories. With my art I wish to express and share my joy of life and love of nature.

 

Art through joy of life;

joy of life through art!
