Kjøsterudgården

Huset kjosterud bedre kvalitet_edited_ed

In 2015, I spent the summer in Åsgårdstrand, where I used Kjøsterudgården as my studio. This house is famous for being the setting in many of Edvard Munch's paintings, such as The Girls on the Bridge, Red Virginia Creeper, and others. It was a delightful experience staying in this small town, so deeply marked by the presence of Munch and other artists. At the end of my stay, I hosted a pop-up exhibition in the house. Many people came, eager not only to view the artwork but also to get a glimpse inside this beautiful and historic building.

While painting inside the house, I found myself inspired by both the house itself and its surroundings.

houses around the area.

St.Olavs Church

solo exhibition

I organized an art event in a stunning church

located in the heart of London.

For the opening, the church was transformed

into a candlelit gourmet restaurant

and an unconventional art gallery.

I chose this location because my work centers around

the relationship between mythology and scripture.

The central sculpture, suspended in front of the altar,

was inspired by sacred geometry

and traditional patterns kept alive through women's art, particularly crochet.

The sculpture, measuring  170 x1 70 cm, was crafted from wire.

Accompanying the visual art was a sound installation featuring various voices reciting the alphabet in multiple languages.

The soundscape mirrored the geometric patterns,

creating a familiar yet immersive experience.
