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.

A visit to the Eye Doctor, and yet more baking
First of all, I've decided to drop the Jul cleaning this year. My back is acting up, so there's no point in trying. I'm just going to do what has to get done. Second, the in-laws came to visit this weekend. So I did some cleaning on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In...
