I design tapestries and hand-weave them on vertical looms in my studio and gallery. I am the only person involved in the entire process from the creation of the watercolor design through to the ancient craft of hand-weaving the tapestry. Each tapestry is a unique creation using the highest quality natural fibers; the designs are never repeated. My large custom-built vertical loom enables me to work over a wide range of size scales with some of my larger tapestries being 12 ft. in one dimension and over 30 ft. in the other.
I grew up in South Eastern Sweden where, to this day, textile art is one of the most frequent forms of artistic expression found in public buildings and private homes. The rich history and tradition of textile art and design endemic in that region became part of my consciousness at a very early stage. My interest and respect for this art-form grew so strongly that by the age of thirteen, I had already woven my first tapestry inspired by an old wagon pillow, and from that point on, I knew that my future was going to be as a tapestry designer and weaver.
