Born on the 24th of May, 1989, in Namsos, Norway, I had an interest in drawing ever since I could hold a crayon. In my early school years I took an interest in Arts and Craft, which was my favourite subject, and spent my time drawing whenever I could. At 11, on a class visit to the library, I found a book about drawing, flipping through the pages I found only trees, landscape and animals, which I was not interested in then. When I reached the very last pages of the book, I found the subject of nude drawings, which would later turn out to be my favourite subject. It was first at the age of 12 that I knew it was possible to be an artist, as a profession, and ever since that, it has been my aspiration.
So far I have attended the Norwegian cultural show 'Ungdommens Kulturmoenstring' for four years in a row, where I went to the second round, representing my municipality two times, and to the third and final round two times, representing my county in the national exhibit. In the summer 2007 I received 'The Dream Scholarship', distributed by the Norwegian Culture school Council.
I have sold a painting to the Municipality of Oestre Toten, which has been displayed in the communal building, and later moved to the Culture School at Mjoelkefabrikken, Kapp. In addition to that, I have works in private collections in Norway, Italy, England, USA, The Czech Republic, Venezuela, Belgium, Germany, Finland and Greece.
Since 2005 I have been taught by the American artist R.C.Bailey, a member of the International Guild of Realists, and I just finished the last year of senior high school in Arts and Design. Now I am going to the University of Oslo, which takes up most of my time. However, I am trying to paint and draw whenever I can, hoping sometime the aspiration of being able to do do this all the time, will come true. [..] >> Read More |
