I find inspiration in nature as I create glass sculptures white organic motifs. My cretations sometimes have a function, and then often as lamps in different forms. Ever since I took the master´s degree in light design at KTH. I work a lot with the combination of glass and illumination, which I believe enhance each other to create something strikingly beautiful.

Something that has had a particular influence on my work is the Baltic island of Gotland. My mother originated from Gotland and we spent every summer there when I was a child, and as an adult I have continued to go there with my own children. I now spend a few months of the year at my summer house at Gotland. The old house and beautiful garden, together with the landscape and special light of the island never cease to inspire me.
