The Art Witch Blog

I’m a mythical artist, photographer, designer, intuitive and all-around creative based in the Norwegian mountains and this is my blog.

This is where I share my creative expression and do my best to inspire, empower, share tips and information, and give the occasional kick in the butt so you can have a more fulfilling life. You’ll also find a lot of art, some behind the scenes and works in progress, as well as some strong opinions, and a swear word or two. If you enjoy the posts, please share them.

Busy me, busy as a bee

It's summer, I'm on vacation, and as busy as a bee. So busy I won't even translate this one until I go back to work in August. It isn't that weird that a herb centred witch like me is busy during summer, but I'm even more busy than usual. Mostly because I didn't get...

Summer Vacation

My summer vacation has started. It actually started about 30 minutes ago. Right now I'm waiting for the train home. Now that I'll have more time to do what I want, and not only what I should. I hope to be able to finish a few things. This is of course in addition to...
