These painterly drawings are intuitive, quick bursts of colour – all abstract, aiming for a visual balance that can be enjoyed as a whole or in closer detail.

‘Wanderer of a Thousand Moons’ began as a lyrical tale (in Finnish) some ten years ago. I have been writing it intermittently on waves of occurring inspiration. I have recently returned to the travels of the Wanderer with explorations both in book form as well as paintings.

The Earth Tales came about as an expression of appreciation for the natural beauty of our world. These drawings are like pages of visual moments that illustrate the age old story of Gaia, shared by us all. Each one is intended as an individual connection to this ongoing story.
