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.

Selling out? Not really. I need space
Some say doing an art sale is selling out, or at least devaluing your work. I beg to differ. I've done them in the past, and now I'm doing one again. Simply because I need the space. I'm about to increase my production again, and I have limited space for storage, so...
Be who you are inside regardless of advice
You've probably been told, at some point, that you should alter or hide something about who you are. Whether it's related to language, style, personality, or spirituality. That you should dress, act, speak, write differently than you do. Don't! You'll live to regret...
I charged up my batteries in Oslo (photos included)
When I got home after a wonderful weekend with friends in Oslo on Sunday, I was mentally and spiritually energized. My body didn't enjoy driving a total of 890 km/550 miles in one weekend, on my own, so I had to take it easy for a while after that. Since I want to...
Writing can be so damned hard you don’t do it
Even when you've been writing and blogging for as long as I have, sometimes it's so bloody hard you end up not doing it. Whether it's working on a book, and e-book, a web page, a report, a script, or a blog post. Sometimes it's just damned hard to get it done. It...
Feel like life squeezed the energy out of you?
You know those times you feel like someone squeezed the juice out of you, your batteries are flat, the tank is empty, you have no energy, and you don't want to do anything? October is one of the worst months of the year for me. I'm constantly drained and want to crawl...
You can watch my art live on facebook
Do you want to take a peek at how I do what I do? You can do that by watching my Tuesday Art Chats. As a bonus, you get to tap into what's going on in my head, as well as get some advice and inspiration. I do these art chats as live streams on my Facebook page. This...
What is making you lose your focus?
What are your most difficult distractions? You know the ones that interrupt or prevent you from doing what you need to do to get where you want to go, focusing on what you need to focus one, and that are almost impossible to avoid. Maybe it's your husband or kids...
Autumn in the mountains of Norway
We don't get much of the bright red and orange in Autumn here in the mountains of Norway. We do get a lot of variations of yellow and brown, with the occasional splash of red. There are only a few Maples, that were introduced. The only other tree that turns red is the...
How to know when to quit, pause or push it
I've decided to let the painting I was working on rest for a while because. There are many more layers to go, and my intuition is telling me that its' smarter to do something else for a while. I had this idea of a city landscape with a bubble containing a different...
Mother-Daughter Creative Time at the River
Lilith and I took some mother-daughter creative time when we stopped by one of the local rivers and took some pictures. I wanted to share some of the pictures with you. Riverbank This is Lilith 🙂 The "Three Wise Trolls" mountain (Lilith's name for it) The opposite...
The last of the scavenger hunts
Today is the last day of the scavenger hunt series. The price for finding what I'm having you look for today is a little bit different. It's something permanent, but also a bonus that's only valid for one week. Baroness Olga de Meyer was a British-born artists' model,...
Find my advice on creative writing
This scavenger hunt is going to be a bit different. You won't be looking for something I've hidden on the site. It's not even on this site. I want you to find the URL of the guest post I wrote about experimentation in creative writing. Hint: The owner of that blog is...
