As a Scandinavian, folklore is present throughout our daily lives, through subtle sayings, customs, names of places and beliefs.

Scandinavian folklore is filled to the brim with tales of otherworldly creatures, ghouls and forest spirits. A country's mythology and folklore provides a window into its culture, society and history, and I love exploring my own by painting and depicting the old tales.
