One afternoon the sunset was so beautiful in the woods in our home, that I went directly to my studio and reproduced it. I think it is very accurate, but we cannot do better that nature! I found a cool metal frame, so that was it!

This little piece is a remembrance of a summer house , sommar stuga, by the lake somewhere in Sweden, where people spend the whole summer just enjoying the weather and maybe sailing or swimming. It was so much fun to paint with watercolors the background, it makes it special!

When I started weaving it I had no fixed idea of any design, only I had a bunch of yarn in different beautiful colors. So I started without any idea, and when it was finished, I realised that it looked like a small town, in the middle of nowhere, with small houses and streets in the middle. It is like a miracle in a way! That is why it is called Pueblo! It was so much fun to move my hands weaving, it is like a meditation.

I saw a picture in a Swedish magazine of a neighborhood with yellow houses with shadows and the normal red house in the front, so I tried to make them up. I am quite happy with the result, it was fun to figure it out! Love the straight lines of the houses and the roofs, and I painted with watercolors the sky, just to make it more interesting!

Always liked sunsets! Of course it is at a beach, cannot avoid my like for them. It was so much fun to work with really bold colors. It is fun to work in round shapes, and then frame it. I like it!

This was a commission for a friend. She wanted a heart with flowers, so I made contact with my daughter Anne-Marie and she made this design perfect for what she wanted. It was so much fun to build up the heart with different materials. The leaves and the flowers were felted. The background has some insinuated butterflies. My son Miguel made the stretcher and covered with canvas, it came out good. A lot of work, but worthwhile! It was really three pairs of hands in it!

Another beach, another story. This beach just appeared by itself. It was fun to imagine the water coming down the stones, getting into the sea. Love to do felting, it feels like painting in watercolors!

Another beach, a different one. Rough sea, islands. The sky is cloudy and it is windy!
Get on a boat if you want!
