Being based near Jyväskylä, I'm lucky to be surrounded by some of Finland's most beautiful landscapes. My atelier is set up in the basement of the family home, a 1940s building that I renovated with my wife Meri to feature green technology such as geothermal heating. Thanks to giving up costly fossil-fuel energy, the basement is now warm enough year-round to paint without resorting to wearing winter-gear indoors – something I used to do!! However, I do like to paint outdoors whatever the season - there's always something inspiring to observe and put onto the canvas. Please get in touch to arrange a visit!
