I am a visual artist and contemplator wondering why we are here and what on earth we are doing. I work with textiles, drawing and words, and am based in Fredrikstad, Norway.

In 2020 I graduated with a BFA from The Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Art and Craft department of textiles. In 2021 I completed a bachelor’s degree in Art History and Visual Studies at the University of Oslo.

In addition to my artistic practice I work at Østfold Kunstsenter and as a freelance art writer.
