KILNCAST GLASS
ENGRAVED GLASS
LAMINATED GLASS
MIXED MEDIA

Regardless if  I am working with taktile cast sculptures or delicate engravings there is a theme that holds everthing together.

The vulnerable human, different memorys from a life......I mixe my own drawings with inspiration from historical arcetypes.

I work in my own studio in Grenna, sweden.
