I am a Swedish artist living and working in Brighton, England.
 


Following studies in Sweden, I moved to the University of Brighton, where I studied Painting and Printmaking under the tutelage of Brendan Nieland RA and Harvey Daniels.


My early work was in watercolour, with techniques inspired by the American realist Andrew Wyeth. I found that drybrush suited my goals best.


I have now moved on to use acrylic on canvas, with which I can produce the purity of line and delicacy of texture which suits my style.


Working for a perspective artist during the 1980s introduced me to the airbrush, which now dominates my work.


My latest work has been architecturally based, focusing on the reflections in buildings. I use these reflections and the play of light to create images that are correspondingly photorealistic and abstract.


I have used my architectural paintings as the basis for several mural commissions.
