A small piece of my story
I began painting when I was 30 years old, in the year 2000. The brush became my companion during a time when I was going through a major physical health challenge. My encounter with the hard side of life and then an experience with a love so great that I had no words, made me turn to the brush, colors and landscape to describe the oddities of life - the good, true and beautiful, and the dark, evil and the deeply human stuff that sometimes meets us.
Places like Hardanger have given me a hole lot of inspiration to paint when I am there with my wonderful wife, our kids, family and friends.

Reflections behind my paintings
Paintings is somehow connected to pain and things, things that are refined and tuned as the word paintings gives us a small little hint of. A hint that our lives and the making of art can find power in the pain we sometimes face. My story with painting starts in a storm of health trouble, and it has continued after a "healing of a leper" experience. I hope that this art can give a hint of future and hope.
