I’m a multimedia artist born in 1984 in Sweden. I work with different mediums and creative writing in various forms.
The foundational relationships of life and how we can live together in the political and spiritual sphere interests me. Alienation, freedom and love are some themes.

I have a bachelors degree in art and psychology from the City University of New York, with a certificate in cultural policy from the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute. Grad. 2016
I also have a combined bachelor and master in psychology from Mid Sweden University. Grad. 2019
For other arts education I have done a one-year foundation arts education at Basis Konstskola. Currently I’m doing a foundation year in the arts at Gerlesborgsskolan, Stockholm.
