The work: Emotions, moments, freedom, time, the presence, the love, the life and being. Nostalgia, connecting what was and what is. The depth of the human being. The layers of emotions. "Photography is for me to make on screen what I see, my ideas, my inner, the beauty and the expressive..." (Ellen E., 2008) |

| EDUCATION |
|
|
Bachelorsdegree from Lillehammer University College
-----------------------------------------------
After attending the artclass in high school and have photography as a subject for the whole year two years before that, I planned to go for further art education, but ended up taking a bachelorsdegree with subjects like: Org. psychology, Social science, Philosophy, Information adviser / Public relations, Education on foundation and intermediate level etc. All because I was told the artworld was risky business, but to not be happy with what you do in life is purhaps more risky, because we only get this life and I realized I had to find my way back to the art when I started working with sales, and used most of my lunchbreaks and spare time writing poetry, lyrics, draw... And long for having more time for my art... And I reached a point where I became sick from working too much... I had to find peace in my soul and harmony again... Find my way back to who I was. |

| For many years I was doing other than art, like educate and work in other areas, but it felt wrong even though I tried to concvince my surroundings it was ok. Tried to please others, and be like them, but then I reached a point of change because I have been an artist my whole life. You can never become an artist. It’s the person you are from birth, but you can flourish or hide yourself, and I was putting myself aside for so many years doing like a lot of artistic souls do trying to fit in. Believed I could be happy taking a reasonable ecucation, be like others, but I’m not and it made me unhappy. Now I’m back and constantly working to get where I want and get my projects out. You’ll find more info on my websites or by following my updates because I will release things from time to time, and write about things… I know I’m a little bit secretive about what I do and work on, but it’s the way I want it, and I make it public when I feel ready to… |
