Description
Craft worker who lives and works in Ålloluokta near the Great Luleå Lake (Stora Lulevattnet). She is currently studying at the Arctic Arts School.

How did you become a craft worker?
As a child I did weaving and embroidery with áhkku, my paternal grandmother. I started painting with watercolors at secondary school. After that, everything remained dormant until five years ago when I began the wood and horn course at the Sami Education Center in Jokkmokk.

Where do you find your inspiration?
From the Sami lifestyle and legends, as well as from nature.
