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.

Do You Want More of These Bright and Colorful Amphibians?
Besides working on the next mythological landscape, I've also been playing with colour to make these smaller works featuring amphibians: A Toad and a Painted Turtle. Both of these are 21 x 14.8 cm (or 8.2 x 5.8 inches), so they're a bit smaller than I usually do my...

Photos Have a Story You Can’t See When Looking at Them
