I was born in 1970 in Raahe, Finland (marked with yellow). At the age of three I moved with my family to Sweden, but the following 4 years were spent in various european countries. Our "home base" was Haraker, a small village outside Västerås. There I met Victoria at the age of five, and we are still close friends. I was totally bored at school, only enjoying arts and english. Victoria and I joined an amateur theatre group, and there I met her class mate Malin, who still is one of my dearest friends.
I moved to my first own apartment at 17, but two years later I joined my family when they decided to move to Waukesha, WI, in the US.
During the 18 months I lived there, I studied english, figure drawing, oil painting and graphic printing.
Since my return to Sweden, I´ve continued studying. At the people´s high school I studied Irish Science and film/ media. 
I moved to Gothenburg in -93 to work as a directors assistant and stayed there for four years, studying conflict resolution and sociology at the university, and worked with market surveying for a while.
In 1997 I worked with After Dark, a drag show, as a make up artist and personal assistant. It was during that time I met my boy friend on the net, and we have been together ever since we first met eye to eye in December 12th.
Six months later I moved in with him, and started my media studies at Högskolan i Skövde.

I´m enjoying my studies here, and will add some examples of my work so far. For now you can see the first assignment on this page. My theme is Love.
