Q&A
What led you to pursue a career as a full-time watercolor artist and graphic designer?
As a mother of two, I was seeking a flexible and creative job that would allow me to balance work and family life. I had been painting since childhood, but only a few years ago did I decide to take it seriously and bring it to a professional level.
How do you draw inspiration for your patterns and paintings?
I have a deep love for flowers, which I always have at home and numerous photos of on my phone. I also find inspiration in floral shops and interior design magazines. I am fortunate to live in such a beautiful country as Norway, where gardens and landscapes are abundant sources of inspiration.
What colors and patterns do you prefer for your everyday personal products, such as bedsheets and comforters?
I am drawn to soft pastel colors and matching elements, as well as palettes that keep personal wardrobes and home decor evergreen and sustainable. While I enjoy designing delicate, feminine floral prints, my two boys have a passion for Ninjago prints and nothing else!
