College of Art and Design and a Master in Fine Art (Photography), from Bergen Art Academy.
She works with issues of identity and stereotyping in connection with class and culture. Her latest project consists of grids built up of selfportraits of different female characters taken from different walks of life. The work highlights how an individual's identity is influenced by the environment and culture they live in. It is also a reminder of how much the viewer's personal and cultural experiences influence the reading of each character.
Previous projects consist of the collaboration project "workstation/playstation" with artist Ariane Severin.
