Who am I?
I was born in 1986 and grew up in Oviken, Jämtland, in the village of Sölvbacken.
I thought that on this page I would write a little differently than on the "about me" page.
Being in the mountains and in nature has always been fun. Everything from when I was little and went out picking berries with my parents, to being up at the mountain farm and up in the mountains.

Family and
Children
Now we have become a small family, with two children. It is so fun to see the children discover nature.
It is in some way like getting to experience nature all over again, but through the children's eyes. It is such an exciting journey to be a part of.

Curiosity
Freedom
Painting is like discovering nature, but in a different way. It is when I do that, that there is space to ponder and reflect.

Before
What have you done before?
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to do many different things. Everything from working as a chef and being nominated for Chef of the Year in 2011, playing music with my parents in the group Trebadurerna for just over 20 years, studying music at a folk high school, holding a bachelor's degree in sociology and a master's degree in quality engineering/leadership and organizational development, to working for the municipality and in government service. And now, in recent years, I have discovered watercolor painting. I am also currently writing a children's book.
