  • My city’s Art

    This is my city! And West Park is our favorite park here. For 14 years we’ve raised our kids here, given our lives to the city’s social work, justice causes, and spiritual awareness. So it is appropriate and thrilling to have a place in this city’s art scene as well. I may be the only Scandinavian represented at the event, but this is my city! I would love it if you came to see why I keep painting this rhythmic Norwegian folk art in my urban context.

    I hear there will be music and food all day, and 100+ artists set up! Yes, it’s street parking… you’ll be ok.

  • Scandinavian Festival

    Aug. 31st my booth will get set up and I’ll put on my Norwegian costume. I invite you to come too, and enjoy my Norwegian Rosemaling in a very Scandinavian inspired setting. I’ll post pictures of the day on my social media!

  • I prefer face to face…

  • 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.

    If the title does not say [SOLD] then this piece is still available. I am willing to do prints of [SOLD] artwork only. Contact me if interested in To er Bedre.

  • 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.
