In brief:

My CV contains varied experiences, as life seldom is a linear serie of events.The ceramic work forms the basis. I've worked with utility ware, commissions for public and private buildings and objects for exhibitions.

Alongside with the studio I've always worked in neighbouring areas such as art education, craft marketing, culture project management. I've also been engaged both practically and as board member in several craft and art organisations.

For nine years I was part time teaching and administrating at the program for ceramic art, HDK, Göteborg University. That gave me further experiences, knowledge and contacts and not least opportunities to travel.

After HDK I studied for two years at Kulturverkstan (Culture Workshop), an experimental project management education specialized at the cultural field. This gave concrete knowledge and tools like business economy and computer skills as well as interesting internships and study trips. Kulturverkstan gave a more complete map of the reality in which I work and developed new channels for my curiosity. I keep contact with the school working as a regular "coach" for groups of students.

Since June 2002 I work at KHVC, Konsthantverkscentrum, a national promotion organisation for professional craftspeople and artists, with information, marketing and project management. I also freelance as writer and photografer.
