Born in Finland 1947
Moved to Australia in 1971
From 1967 to 1971 I worked at the Finnish national broadcaster, YLE. I studied film and television production at YLE and became a film editor at the beginning of 1971. I moved to Australia in July 1971 and worked as a film editor at the ABC from 1972 to 1990. During that time I also made some independent short films.
From 1980 onward I became increasingly interested in painting and drawing and left the ABC in 1990 to paint full-time. I have been exhibiting regularly since 1984 and from 1992 onward I have also been teaching drawing and painting.
