“My family lived in the remote mountains deep in Telemark, Norway for well over 1000 years. It’s this deep rooted ancestry that helped shape me as an artist”. 

So its no surprise, the Rocky Mountains near where I was born has always provided me that same deep inner peace and inspiration. From the Tall mountain cliff’s, to the lakes and to the abundance of animals, to the incredible Northern lights that dazzle us with their ancient magical dance. I’m truly grateful to live in such beauty within the wonderful community of Cochrane Alberta.

My work draws upon the nature I am surrounded by, as well as the mid-century Scandinavian modernist movement of the 1960’s and 70’s. With the beautiful organic simplicity of curves. Sometimes I like to add a dash of 1950’s Brutalism to my pieces, or even some Viking folklore.  Each and every piece I create has a story to tell. 

These statement pieces are mostly handcrafted in silver, but I also dabble sometimes in copper, brass and even gold. I love sculpting new pieces into wax, then have them cast locally using the ancient lost wax method once used by my ancestors. 

The family farm in Rjukan, Telemark, Norway is now a National Museum. In 2024 I was delighted to donate over 250 objects and photos of my Norwegian Grandparents to the NIA Museum in Rjukan. Then in June 2025, I was one of the guest speakers at a ceremony in Rjukan marking the donation along with the immigration of so many Norwegians to North America.
