Made with Love
Welcome to my creative world of colour, cosy handmade projects, and Nordic-inspired art and storytelling. I’m a Norwegian artist who loves painting, crafting, and creating magical things — from handcrafted pieces and illustrations to gentle stories for children.
My work blends traditional handcraft, hand-painted artwork, and thoughtfully created stories — all inspired by Norwegian tradition and everyday moments.
Astrid the Little Viking Girl – A Gentle Nordic Adventure
Stories and illustrations inspired by Norwegian nature and quiet childhood moments. Astrid lives where the Norwegian forest begins right outside her door. She hunts for pinecones, follows animal tracks, and jumps in every puddle she finds. These gentle picture books for ages 2–7 share real, everyday Norway with the little ones you love. Each page is crafted with soft colours, warmth, and a touch of everyday magic using creative digital tools — inviting little explorers to discover the world with wonder and calm.

The Spirit of Christmas – Handcrafted Norwegian Nisser
Inspired by Nordic traditions and the cozy spirit of Christmas. Each figure is shaped by hand — a blend of nostalgia, warmth, and a touch of magic.
Rustic Abstract Painting
I love building up rustic, abstract paintings — layer by layer. Adding, scraping, painting again — that’s where the magic happens for me. I rarely have a plan; I just enjoy the process and let creativity take the lead.
Handmade Cards from the heart
Little pieces of art, created with care. Every card is unique — crafted by hand and meant to bring warmth, beauty, and a personal touch to someone’s day.
