Creative Force in Motion

Artist. Mover. Shaker.

I’m a creator who has been relentlessly curious about the mysteries and phenomena of the world. I have travelled, explored cities, created hundreds of projects, worked as a book designer, writing teacher, tantrika, workshop facilitator. Twenty years of Buddhist practice in my backpocket, and a large range of bodywork modalities, I can offer something really grounded and thorough through my work.

The core of my work is to be able to stay present with our experience, and in our body. Without presence, there’s no one to live our life!
That is the art I create.

Paintings, drawings, musings

I’m a multi-disciplinary artist who does not really fit into any box: as a university trained designer and illustrator I’m “too commercial” to be a fine artist, as a deeply mystical explorer, I don’t really fit the literacy world, as an artist and someone really interested in culture, politics, money, different world views and phenomena, I don’t quite seem to fit the box of “a spiritual woman”, what ever that means.

So, in all: I might understand how you might feel, if you notice that your soul wants many things that seemingly don’t fit together. But it might just be your perception that doesn’t allow the integration to happen! Let’s find out together.
