  • Description

    Hi there!

    I’m a carpenter and artist who has had the chance to travel and produce shows all over the world. In my art, I love masks, full-body costume, and puppetry. In my carpentry, I am a timber framer and boat builder.

    I am visiting my brother in April who recently moved to Berlin, but I want to visit my ancestral home of Finnskogen or Vårmland, Sweden while I am traveling in Europe—so I'm taking my time and visiting new and old haunts on my way.

    I would love to help with art projects, gardening, farming, building and/or renovating. I’m also an excellent cook (I have been a camp chef for different work sites and artist camps) and love working with kids (I have led parade and puppetry builds for many years involving youngsters and adults alike).

    I have had a lot of experience with communal living and enjoy lots of activity and meeting new people—I also like equal doses of quiet, calm and some independence.

    Excited to learn more about you and your project!
