2009

The birth of my first child changed everything! Even though this site is dedicated to my work as an art therapist and my passion for the arts, I cannot ignore the profound impact of this experience. I put my career on hold to devote myself to my children—an intense journey that taught me as much about myself as about the importance of connection in emotional development! I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world!

While waiting for the birth of my first baby, I found inspiration and comfort in coffee painting. I took great pleasure in drawing on a fabric canvas, which beautifully absorbed the fluidity of the coffee color.

I created three coffee paintings, but this one remains my favorite. Art was my companion and my solace during the last days of anxiety and impatience, especially after two long overdue weeks before giving birth. ☕🎨💛

My portrait by a talented classmate from Poland, created while we were taking Swedish lessons at Komvux Västerås. We took short breaks to keep things interesting 🙂, but the teachers were incredible, and I have wonderful memories!
