Artist’s Statement

I love nature and I love hiking and walking. I have been fascinated by the colours of nature since I was a child. I like to draw, paint, experiment with creating different shapes and creating the right colour harmony.

Weaving has become an important part of my life from the moment I first tried it. I find it exciting how the pattern drawn on the paper comes to life with weaving. The woven fabric will have a different dimension, texture and feel as well. Hand weaving gives me the opportunity to sit in the silence of my thoughts, allowing my hands to think.

I love traditional weaves and patterns, but also admire contemporary textile art. That is why I am working to achieve something that cleverly combines these ideas. I am passionate about sharing my skills and knowledge with the lovers of weaving, so they can live their creative dreams too.

My goal is to create something that is beautiful, good to look at, that is pleasing to the eye. There are so many troubles, worries and horrors in the world that we should not let them into art. I want my woven fabrics to provide beauty and silence to the places where they live and to reflect an inner call for peace.
