Padasjoki, Päijät-Häme
In my work, I combine visuality, traditional craftsmanship and deep relaxation. Respect for nature and genuine presence are at the heart of my activities.
🌲 Nature photography I capture the world through my lens with the aim of capturing the unique atmosphere and peacefulness of nature and animals. My photos highlight moments that often go unnoticed in our busy lives, the play of light and the quiet power of the forest. The beauty of all animals. The photographs are available for purchase. Drum making and sales I handcraft high-quality (shamanic) drums from elk and horsehide. Each drum is a unique work of art, created with respect for the materials and ancient traditions. I sell ready-made instruments to those who are looking for their own powerful soundscape.
Drum relaxation sessions and courses I offer memorable moments with sound: Drum relaxation sessions: Deeply relaxing sound journeys, where the low rumble of the drum helps you to pause and recharge. Courses: I guide participants in building their own drums. The courses are a journey into your own creativity and the peace of working with your hands. "A drum is not just an instrument, it is a connection to nature and your inner self."
