I am a paper artist, surface pattern designer, illustrator and natural builder. With a deep love and connection to nature, I create enchanting designs and products, which give you a sprinkling of fairytale magic. Mother Nature inspires my work, regardless of the medium, she is also the co-creator of my hand sculpted natural cottage, Elämän Puu (Tree of Life), which I built by myself, with the help of family and friends, in my childhood forest in Southern Finland. The place and the art within, is a homage to the years I grew up exploring the flora and fauna, mysteries and fairytales in the woods near-by, peeking in the little hidey-holes, looking for, and believing in, faeries. Most of my art has been created with those extrordinarily ordinary early experiences, which coloured my imagination and view of life. My subsequent move to UK over 20 years ago changed me further and I now dwell with my two children in the Shire of York, in a green valley near Hebden Bridge, near the woods of other kinds of faeries and fairy-tales.
