These are the paintings I have selected for the Stratford Upon Avon Fringe which is a festival to be held 2 june – 10 june 2012.

It’s my fourth exhibition so far this year & my first Fringe festival

This will be a great festival with all sorts of entertainment for everyone, theatre, music, comedy performers, short film competition, visual artists & street entertainers.

Stratford upon Avon is a beautiful town where Shakespeare was born & has a really interesting history.

I can’t wait to go there & enjoy the entertainment that the Stratford Upon Avon Fringe festival has to offer 

I’m in the summer spirits & would love to give one of my summer paintings “Kokomo” to a lucky art lover

This is a very easy competition & will take you just a moment to do. By clicking this – LINK–  you will see my profile on Artists Wanted, you only need to click “COLLECT ME”  & write a comment below. This is very easy to do, by collecting me I will have a chance to get my art shown on Times Square & you will have a chance of winning Kokomo. So it’s a win win situation

This competition will end at midnight on 13th of May & I will contact the winner on Monday 14th of May.

The painting will be sent to the winner.

Best of luck to you

The  Human Rights Exhibition 2012 is held in Italy.

It starts in Lecce Castello di Acaya (28 april – 10 june 2012)

Later it moves to Trento Campana dei Caduti (15 september – 14 october 2012)

My painting “Right to life” will be shown at the exhibition.

I was also asked to provide some words on my subject (children), here are my thoughts…

Children of the world all have a right to life.
They all need clean water, nutricious food, healthcare, love, shelter, security & education.
Many children of this world do not have any option to enjoy these rights.
These rights are the very minimum they are entitled to.
We need to look after all the children of this world.  If we give them these rights then they will have hope.

I’m very pleased to take part in this great exhibition with artists from all over the world

I am over the moon!

I’ve just found out that my first children’s book will be published soon…

The book will be published in Icelandic but hopefully it will be published in English  in the future.

I’ve always been really interested in writing & illustrating children’s books, so I hope this is just a beginning for me.

Would love to make many more in the future, I’ve got so many new ideas!

Will keep you updated my friends

I am very happy that my painting “Mother Love”  has been used  to advertise in the press in Norway.

It’s for the 2nd Twitter Art Exhibition to be held in Moss, Norway for charity #twitterartexhibit

This is for a local charity: The Women’s Crisis Center in Moss, where abused women and children can get help.

This year the exhibition will show around 300 postcards featuring art from 30 artists all over the world.

Artists were asked to contribute postcard sized, hand painted original artwork (representing a tweet),  to be sold to raise money for the charity.

Date of opening: Thursday April 12, 2012

I hope that the postcards will sell out, it’s for a very good cause
