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.

Find the vampire hiding on the site
Somewhere on this site, there's a vampire... Don't worry, he's not that dangerous. But if you find him, tell me where you found him, and I'll give you a free workshop recording of your choice. That's today's scavenger hunt 🙂 I hope it won't be too hard for you to...
Join today’s scavenger hunt, there’s a prize 🙂
Yesterday, I had you searching for a yellow feather (which has been removed now). Today's scavenger hunt involves finding the colour of Strange Bird number 2. That is the second painting in the Strange Birds series. In the video, I said I would explain what the prize...
It’s time for the great reveal
It's time for me to reveal what I've been working on behind the scenes and hinting at because I couldn't keep my mouth shut 😀 So what is it? As you can probably tell, the site looks different. I've rebuilt my website from scratch with colours, photos, and messaging...
Playful painting of colorful koi fish swimming in a pond
These fish are swimming around in their pond, not worrying about what goes on around them. The background was made by playing around with leftover paint from when I was finishing the Alfheim painting. I then talked about what to put on it on facebook, and one of the...
One week left until I let you in on the secret
I'm getting very excited and incredibly impatient waiting to tell you about the secret I'm keeping, but I have to stick to what I told you and wait until the 21st. I'm definitely not used to keeping things quiet for so long, at least not when it comes to things about...
Cabinets of curiosities – who, why, and what
This painting by Domenico Remp shows a curiosity cabinet in the form of an actual cabinet. The collection has things like optical instruments, miniature paintings, and shells. Cabinets of curiosities were collections of strange objects, like the ancestor of today’s...
Why I don’t like sneaky sales tactics
Let's talk about the sales monster out there. Sneaky and sleazy sales tactics make me squirm. If I see them in use by someone I follow or subscribe to, I unfollow/unsubscribe immediately. I don't like them as a customer. I don't like them as a business owner, and I...
Images and the ways they can influence you
Imagery can have a profound effect on your life, they aren't just pretty (or horrible) things to look at. There's a lot of research into how images influence our mind, and how our minds can be manipulated by images. Your brain is built to make associations and visual...
Your words will be inspiring my new series
I'm creating a new series of paintings based on things people say, how they describe their current challenge. I've decided to call this new series "WordWorks" since it's based on words. One thing that title doesn't say is that the paintings can be used as the antidote...
How to use curiosity to create something new
I wrote about why you should be curious on Wednesday and today we're taking it into what you can use your curiosity for, how you can create something totally new by being curious. When you've been creating in a certain way for a while, it's easy to feel like your work...
Why is curiosity so bloody important that I write about it?
Curiosity may have been said to kill the cat, but it's actually great for you to be curious. First of all, your life is a lot more interesting, exciting and fun when you're curious. A curious life is never boring. You always have something new to think about, to try,...

Being a multi-passionate, I love to create in many different ways. But I do have some favourite creative tools I use more than others. So I'm going to tell you what they are, as well as a little secret I've been keeping 🙂 The tool I've been using the longest is the...
