Welcome to my blog! If you´re here by accident or out of pure interest, give me a moment to convince you to keep on reading and maybe even come back every once in a while! :)
I am a young self taught artist from Finland where I own a small pet store in a small town. My grandmother loves to paint and she has set up a small painting studio in her own attic. Ever since i was little (old enough to hold a pencil) I have been encouraged and inspired by her to draw and paint.
My passion for art didn´t fade over the years of growing up and I painted and drew most of my teenage. On few occasions I was asked by family, friends and the people who knew me, to make a drawing for them from the subject of their choosing. Usually this was pets and children.
My other passion is animals which in turn spurred me to start my own store when i got the opportunity. Still getting asked to do portraits, i decided to offer that to a wider range of customers, not just my family and friends. Now I keep a selection of paintings and drawings in the store for people to see.
In this blog I will post regularly my art and i´m very open to suggestions and even a little critique. :)
I make portraits in the base of photographs given/sent to me.
Enjoy!
