“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 a 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 &
recuperate after the battle is over.
Without major reinforcements
this exhibit would not
have been possible.
