Korsholm, Ostrobothnia

I have been organising art workshops throughout Finland since 1999. Interactive portrait workshops and mosaic workshops are the art workshop services I offer to various communities.
I have designed and produced community art projects in collaboration with various organisations, including libraries, youth centres, the Settlement Association, the Vaasa Artists' Association, the Ostrobothnian Museum and the Arts Promotion Centre.I have been primarily responsible for the artistic content and organisation of the events. I am a trained visual artist and also hold a Master's degree in Philosophy from the Department of Art Education at the University of Jyväskylä (2014). I have been a visual arts teacher for a total of 15 years at the Kuopio Children's and Youth Art School and the Adult Education Centre, with a special group at the Kuopio County Prison. I have worked as a county artist in the visual arts and produced exhibitions and events in very different situations and challenging conditions.
