A little bit about me - the painter Born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1943, I was an only child, had a great childhood. I loved animals, nature and drawing. In 1964, in Spain, I met my husband. He was from America and a place called California. I immigrated to America where we got married and had a boy and a girl. We were in the military for 20 years and we moved around a great deal. Eleven of those years were spent in Europe. I became an alcoholic and there were some very hard years. I finally found God and, between Him, a great doctor and me, I became clean and have been sober for 20 years.

I got breast cancer in 1993. My mother had the same disease
and had died from it. I thought it would be the end for me
as well but, after a mastectomy and chemo, I am still here,
thanking my Father in heaven for each day.

In 1996, my husband exited our marriage of 32 years. I took
my 2 dogs and left for Colorado where my daughter lived.
It’s so beautiful here and I have finally found peace after
dealing with serious grief.

I enjoyed life with my daughter and two granddaughters
when they lived here in Colorado Springs but they now
live in Michigan with my son-in-law.

My son served our country as an officer in the Army in
Korea, Iraq and elsewhere. He and his wife are now
living in Germany.

I am so thankful to have my wonderful family, my church,
many dear friends standing by me, and my painting.

I have always liked to color and draw but when I began
oil painting, I discovered a wonderful way to express myself.

During my troubled years, my world lacked color.
Now, I find joy in sharing the colors of my world with others.

Through my paintings, I can share the
warmth and peace I now have in my life.
