My works are born entirely from my imagination, inspired by everything from fairy tales and childhood trips to Lapland to song lyrics. My father comes from the village of Nellim in Northern Lapland, and I have Inari Sámi roots. I believe this heritage is where much of the mysticism and atmosphere in my paintings originates.
