   Coming from an artistic family with roots all the way from Canada, drawing has always been something natural to me. I started out with lead pencils which all of my earlier works consist of.

   I moved over to color by doing various motives on wooden doorsigns and mailboxes. Simultaneously I made mini-clay figures and a detailed, life-sized head. Once I had an opportunity to buy a tattoo kit for a reasonable price and learned all I could on my own about hygiene and technique and for a couple of years had a huge amount of tattoos made. My next move was going digital by constructing webpages wherein computers, the graphics are more or less unlimited. 

  • After having kept a distance from drawing for a couple of years, I got an urge to get started again with my new ideas. Pastel crayons was the new challenge that eventually got me into selling my art.

  •   There's a dominating technique throughout my galleries that I've developed myself and call Nuances in Black (NIB) that has been recieved with great response.
  •  
  • What defines a NIB drawing is a portrait that appears out of the dark. An interesting fact is that all original NIB drawings are effected by the way the light falls on them because they're drawn with oil pastel crayons which have a glowing effect.
  • These drawings are undoubtly the ones I enjoy doing the most which gives the best insight into what I want to express.
