When I’m happy, or sad, or curious, or hungry (!) I like to draw. When I’m stressed too. Or confused, it makes things clearer (sometimes).
Or, when I am longing for something.

I put on some music, make myself a big cup of coffee and colors comes swooshing out of my pen.

A wonderful bug climbs a ladder with a bucket of yellow paint. He is in a black and white world, bringing some yellow joy to his corner of it all.

We lift ourselves by lifting others up.

Forever grateful for those who fought for my rights!

And I wish that 8M would be an unnecessary day. But unfortunately we’re still very far from gender equality.

My kid chose to dress up as Hilma af Klint for the school carnival today. The theme was Art and Artists. Hilma af Klint was born in Sweden 1862. A unique and very modern artist ❤️🥰

When you’re shortsighted like me, the glasses really changes my face because of how much smaller my eyes look with them on… it’s almost like I have two faces. So here is a self portrait, with, or without glasses 👓💚
