I am a visual artist working with multidisciplinary mediums, mainly photography, video and installation, lately also painting. I focus on the contemporary phenomenon as digital invasion and its influence into our lives, as well as existential questions on the complex relationship between The Wild and the Human. Currently, I am working on several new work. One is our island nature and the state of the Archipelago Sea and its changes. Nature and wild animals are present in my latest works. Where do animals go when the nature is changing?

Nature doesn’t care. It Is.

Ever since my childhood summer holidays, the Turku Archipelago Sea and the islands, forest and the surrounding nature have all been very dear to me. Today I have been living on Korpo island for over 30 years – the distance, the silence and nature itself has strongly influenced my thinking and practice. Over the years this has become visible in several bodies of work.

To keep our island life interesting and to offer artist to work in the middle of archipelago nature, me and my husband founded AARK – Archipelago Art Residency in Korpo – in late autumn 2014. I am the coordinator and director of our residency. Please see our website at www.aark.fi . We are on Facebook and Instagram. #aarkfi

I am a senior lecturer in Photography Fine Arts, at Turku University of Applied Sciences, Arts Academy, since 1998. We are a good team: A huge number of Finnish well-known artists and photographers has been studying in Turku.
