​
 I was born  and raised in Gothenburg, on the  West  Coast of Sweden.

 I  studied art in  London, Gothenburg, and  Kuala Lumpur, lived in England and Jamaica  and traveled extensively before settling in Barbados with my family.  

As a painter, printmaker, writer, curator, organizer and teacher I have been deeply involved with  the vibrant Caribbean arts for  nearly five decades.

It has been a fascinating, rewarding and often deeply moving experience,
which has taught me,  that there are  deeper and higher levels of being,
which unite us, connect us and move us forward; 
a deeper rhythm, which prevails through the superficial divisions of race, class, age, gender and nationality.
​
My work is a result of this blend of cultures and insights.

My  studio is located at Serenity Hill, Featherbed Lane, St John. Barbados.
