I’m a visual artist, goldsmith and art educator. I’ve also studied cultural management and have a background in pedagogical practices and customer service. Currently, I work in the field of museum pedagogy at Amos Rex art museum and exhibition pedagogy at gallery Forum Box . All of my previous studying and working experiences, plus numerous encounters with different people, have affected my artistic and pedagogical skills and thinking.
I work with different types of mediums simultaneously; I draw, write, paint, sew and build. When I work as an art educator, I try to listen and learn from the people I work with and aim to make space for experimenting, feeling and collaborating in a loving, empathetic way. I aim for sustainability, equity and inclusion in everything I do.
For me art making and -teaching is primarily about combining multilayered forms of communication; it’s about looking at the world from different perspectives, exploring the unknown and trying to create an environment based on trust, hospitality and belonging.
