There’s a poetry inherent in the landscapes around us. We can feel its verse in the wind — see it in the changing light and in the textures that shift along the hillside. In my creative practice, I paraphrase it in a language of form, color and texture. Landscape poetry is both the inspiration and the ambition of my art.
From the quiet lakes and deep forests of my native Sweden to the foamy shores and prickly deserts of Southern California that I now call home, the intricacy of nature is an endless source of awe and inspiration. Through my education and practice, I engage with it in cross-pollinating capacities that straddle the worlds of art and design. As a Landscape Architect based in Laguna Beach, I design environments that support both ecological systems and human use. As an Artist, I explore the visual complexity of diverse landscape types and depict it in varied expressions — from naturalistic representations to graphic illustrations and playful abstractions. Art is a verse I add to the poem of the landscape, always in a pairing of nature’s sublime refinement and curiosity’s inspired hand.
