“Shieldmaiden (sv. Sköldmö) is an artistic concept that came to me in June 2016. The legendary Viking warrior women who rose to the challenge when faced with setbacks and adversity, have not only inspired the artwork featured in this exhibition, they also personify my determination to overcome the hardships of this past year. Shieldmaiden is an homage to lost loved ones and marks the end of an era in my life, as well as celebrating a new chapter.
Welcome to share this rite of passage with me.”

PS: Not even a Shieldmaiden can go it alone and she needs to rest and recuperate after the battle is over. Without major reinforcements this exhibit would not have been possible.
