I was born in Bergen, Norway, where I grew up pursuing my love for medicine and science (M.D., Ph.D.). I came to Boston to become a research fellow at Harvard Medical School in 1993 and stayed on as faculty. However – I have always loved music and visual art – both as performer/artist and listener/viewer – which led me to Massachusetts College of Art and Design to study studio art. I had four exciting, thought-provoking, and inspiring years at MassArt obtaining a BFA in painting, and in sculpture in 2015. I have worked as a full-time studio artist since graduation, first at Fountain Street Studios in Framingham, and since the fall of 2018 as a member of the Lincoln Studios in Waltham, Massachusetts. I am a member of Cambridge Art Association and NEAC/The Art Gallery in SOWA, Boston.

To me, the essential nature of art and science are closely linked. My art practice is about seeing, questioning, and examining the relationship between biological evolution and cultural evolution, between nature and humans, and the fluidity of nature and of the human condition.

I have for many years reflected over relations and connections – especially the liminal space in-between. Exploring the relationship between us and our surroundings – close and far – in distance or time. Using traditional, everyday and found materials – as well as idiosyncratic materials – I am aspiring to explore their inherent languages in my art.
