I do enjoy paintings with musical motifs, and I have a soft spot for hurdy-gurdies, mostly because one of my favourite musicians, Loreena McKennitt, frequently uses it to great effect in her music.

This painting, painted in 1828, shows a family of travelling musicians and entertainers. The boy holding a ring next to the dog indicates he probably has the dog doing tricks, making it jump through hoops while the parents are playing their instruments.

Born in Norway in 1974, and discovering I knew how to paint in 1999, my work spans a wide variety of styles and media, all the way from traditional oils, pencil drawings and encaustics to digital paintings, 3D renderings and computer generated imagery, with styles ranging from the completely abstract to the sensually figurative.
