“Being new to Deer Isle I can see the magic around every corner here. I do not know why, but all seasons are overwhelming here. I have tried to paint the magic into them. “You have to keep developing yourself. To make a series with a beginning and an end helps me a lot. Sometimes I have a vague idea of what to explore. I write down words, wishes, demands and what should bond them. I work on the whole series during painting. I see them growing, coming together, instead of deciding the painting is ready, I decide when the series is ready. “Nowadays you see a lot of anecdotes in arts. In my paintings you have to make the story yourself. There is a lot to see. The titles will help you on your way, like Driving up Cadillac Mountain or Breakfast with Hieronymus Bosch. I try to avoid direct recognizable items in these paintings, which is hard.”
