Nordic Roots

I’m so delighted to share Nordic Roots, the first collection I’ve ever created as an ode to my Scandinavian ancestry. Growing up, my family went to lutefisk dinners and Norwegian events, and in high school my grandpa even had me hand-paint a few pieces in the traditional Norwegian style.

​

These paintings honor the divine beauty of the nordic land: cool, calm waters, mountains rising straight out of the sea, volcanic land, and snowy playgrounds made for skiing and play.

​

While researching the aurora borealis, I was moved by how the Northern Lights dance across the sky, when the sun doesn’t rise for nearly two months, a radiant reminder that hope and light can be found even in the darkest season.

​

I found more inspiration here than I thought possible. Look closely for the pearlescent shimmer in the mountains, the glitter in the aurora, and the little elements of color and light waiting to be discovered.
