As long as I can remember, I had a passion for art - always had a drawing or a painting in progress, often scattered at the back of my notebooks. It wasn't always clear to me that art was what I should be doing for a living until later, after many years spent in academic research as an environmental economist.
I started taking a few evening art classes, which soon made me realize that expressing my inner visual images required a stronger foundation in drawing. As soon as I heard of The Florence Academy of Art opening a school in Sweden, I enrolled in their program. After studying for three years in figure drawing and painting at the Florence Academy of Art in Mölndal, I finally decided to dedicate myself entirely to art.
