  • To er Bedre [SOLD]

    ”Two is Better” in Norwegian

    5×7 inch. Watercolor & Ink

    I took one of the writhing animals from a carved Viking era wall and turned it into two intertwined sea dragons, tipping my hat to rosemaling’s origins and naming the work “To er Bedre” because it’s still true today, “two is better” as Ecclesiastes wisely encouraged in its proverb on humans.

  • Kjørlaug Farm 2

    Watercolor & Ink

    2 – 4×6 inch pieces

    My “Kjørlaug Farm” pictures are odes to the old way of working the land. Since at least as far back at 1780 The Kjørlaug Farm was home to generations of cultivators in my family tree, bringing life up from the dirt. I’m imagining the land in Rosemaling style.

  • City Lines 3 [SOLD]

    Watercolor & Ink

    4×6 inches

    My “City Lines” pictures are musings on the way people view the world through wires. I have found an opposing sense of division and connection in my observations. But the beauty is there for those who see, especially in cities.

  • Myk Vind 2

    4×6 inches Watercolor & Ink

    Means “Soft Wind” in Norwegian.

    Rosemaling is the folk art that moves like the wind, unbound, flowing as it wills. Every Rosemaling piece I paint is shifting as I create, then landing in a different place than I expect.

  • Norwegian Cupboard #2

    The desire to rosemal all my walls, doors, and ceilings prompted me to create a series of designs I can envision on cupboard doors in an old farm house in Norway. Rosemaling represents to me creativity in poverty—to meander down an old barn wall with paint strokes is an act of resistance against the darkness of that room. For this reason, Norwegian Rosemaling keeps coming out of me every time I sit with my brush. It is a gift, a sword my Norwegian grandmother gave me to fight the long nights with. 

    Watercolor and Ink. 8×12 inches.

    In the old Norwegian homes they painted on every door frame and cupboard, making the mundane flourish for all who lived there.
