I am an artist and mentor living in Fiskars, Finland. In the recent years I have been creating jewellery art from local materials like found stones. Jewellery is something that can express value in very intimate, condensed and relatable ways.
Currently I am in a phase of redefining my artistry. I see myself moving towards new visual expressions due to my interest in awareness and value. Only time will tell what form it takes. Most likely it will be something that keeps shifting and changing, just like life itself.
Apart from being an artist I am offering mentorship regarding individual awareness. It was a natural consequence from years of studies and observations. Both paths have their foundation in the same themes. For as long as I can remember I have felt a need to explore the mysteries of life, both at a universal and practical, individual level.
However, it is still important for me to create with my hands through concrete materials. Craft-based processes help me stay present in the now. There is just a little challenge: I create slowly and have learnt that I’m not a doer, but more of a non-doer. There’s nothing I can do about it but to adjust from doing to being, and to ways of creating that allow doing less.
At an individual level I am ultimately exploring how to exist in a world where I don’t seem to fit in and how to carve a meaningful path by feeling good through both body and soul. I believe it’s a life-long journey.
