I studied gold and silversmithing there, and was inspired by the work of Mondrian, and the STIJL. The art collection of Stedlijk Museum (Museum of contemporary Art ) in Amsterdam was an important inspiration for my art education. Galerie Ra in Amsterdam opened my eyes to what contemporary jewellery art could be.

Indispensible! After four years and seven attempts, Ra accepted my work, and was my exclusive gallery from 1983-2020. A gallery relationship which has been vital for my artistic career . I have now started a collaboration with Neue Sammlung (Design Museum) ,Munich where they will show my work in 2023.

The Crafts in Dialogue exhibition at Stockholm’s National Museum in 2005 and the lecture at the Neue Sammlung, Munich in 2009 was my international breakthrough. At home, it was my retrospective exhibition (Balloon Voyage) at Lillehammer Art Museum in 2011.

Yes. One example is the brooch featuring my mother’s gallstones on display at the Stockholm National Museum; another is my Cuckoo Clock with an egg, a commission for the Norwegian Government Representational Buildings, Oslo.
