I am from a small community in Norway called Iveland, but have lived the last 4 years in London.
Since I was a little child, I loved to paint and draw pictures. It all started with watercolours, then ended up in being more interested in oil paints, and gradually started painting on canvas.
After high school in 2005, I decided to take the painting seriously, so I moved to Paris where I painted different buildings, and started to realise that I was more interested in painting portraits, so started to paint a few celebrities to practise on my own.
In 2007 I moved to London to work like a part time nanny, and soon started to miss the painting. The families I worked for showed interest in my work, so they wanted me to paint theire children, so I did that on my free time.
Have recently had different contacts from people through my website, where I paint clients off from photos. As well I have been working on a project called "Happy Royal", where I have been painting the royal familes in Europe.
There has been so many portraits done of the royal families where it is all formal, with lots of jewelry and crowns. So I have been working on something different, where they are more relaxed and happy. Prince William and Miss Middleton are getting married in April this year, so it was a great pleasure for me to be able to paint them together like a "soon to be married" couple.
I have also put some other paintings for sale (landschapes,flowers etc...).
