1. If I wasn’t an artist I would be a music publicist. That’s what I
was before I quit to pursue the creative side 100%.
The only things I miss is the regular pay check, getting all those
records months before they hit the stores and being on the guest
list.

2. My worst habit is procrastination.

3. I am in love with that perfect shade of light blue, childlike design and coffee.

4. Who/what inspires you?
Color, the weather, my husband and my mood mostly. A clean house and the open day ahead has to be one of the most inspiring things for me.

5. What is your biggest accomplishment to date?
The release of my first album, I’m in a band called The Battle of Land and Sea. I sing and play guitar.
It took me years to get an album out there, but I’m grateful that the earlier stuff never made it into the world, this is a record I will always stand behind. You can hear us here – www.myspace.com/battleoflandandsea

6. What is your biggest fear?
Getting in a terrible car accident. I have dreams and realistic flashes of it when driving. I’m a good driver, it’s the other people I fear, please don’t use your cell phone when driving folks!

7. If you could have superpowers, what would it be?
To be able to snap my fingers and be in another place and to take someone with me. I’d want there to be restrictions
though so I wouldn’t take it for granted. This would be good for the
environment and get rid of that fear of car accidents I suppose.

1. If I wasn’t an artist I would be a a traveler looking what is
behind the mountains.

2. My worst habit is pouring the teacup too full, but I am good
at balancing through the parlour to my painting table.

3. I am in love with hands around a creeping thyme tea cup on a
walk outside in a cold weather.

4. Who/what inspires you?
Inspiration comes through the ever changing weather, which touches everything and travels over the world telling stories as a sound of the wind or drops of rain.

5. What is your biggest accomplishment to date?
All the works are as important. From all I learned, all them I enjoyed.

6. What is your biggest fear?
That there won´t be anymore snowy winters. It is important for the plants we have here up North and also for many animals as they might need to sleep over the winter under snow to get some strength for the next spring and summer to breed and bloom again.

7. If you could have superpowers, what would it be?
To see as far as to the next universe, but just a peek, a tiny one.
