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.

It’s time to show you the strange Raven
The Vain Raven in Orange is number 5 in my series of Strange Birds, and I decided to make it an orange Raven because orange is a contrast to the blue you normally find in the black wings of a Raven. I hope you think it's a pretty bird, and a fun representation of a...
The new freebie is about stress
When you have stress at the level that it makes you clumsy, you need to deal with it. Lots of people will tell you to take a shower, take a walk, or something like that. I'm telling you that you need to do something that occupies your mind to where your brain can't...
Presenting a mythological landscape that will change
This is the first mythological landscape in a series: Alfheim, the realm of the Elves from Norse mythology. In this painting, I wanted the landscape itself to be the focus, not a bird or an Elf. So there are no Elves, and only a tiny bird to add some interest higher...
You Don’t Have to “Woman” Alone
I think woman is a verb. As I’ve looked around at some of the incredible women in my environment and life, I’ve been awe-inspired by the examples of Moms, wives, entrepreneurs and single ladies I have. I wanted to touch on the wonderful support and cheerleading I...
I was late to the Soul Art party this year
Today is International Soul Art Day, hosted by Laura Hollick, and I was late to the party this year since a bunch of things conspired to not make it possible for me to do my art during the day. So I had to wait for the others to go to sleep so I could get some peace...
Are you making time to enjoy the season?
I'll be making videos this month, pretty much daily. If you want to see them all, I'll post them on my facebook page. Today, I had this thought when I was walking up the hill with my bike, so I had to record it. What's your answer? Do you make time to enjoy the season...
Even on a bad pain day, I create
Even when my pain is worse than usual, on a bad pain day, I still feel the need to express myself, to create something. My sciatica has been acting up lately, and Sunday was really bad (imagine labor pain level sciatica) and all the shops were closed. I wasn't able to...
An answer to “What the hell is Cartomancy?”
They may not always use those words, but I have been asked "What the hell is cartomancy?" before. This is the answer, and I'm sharing it with you because you might want to know that too. Cartomancy is a word used to describe divination using a regular deck of...
What to sow in the witchy garden this year
My own witchy garden that is 🙂 but it might give you some ideas for yours. I've decided to share my plans this year, as I have before because I know there are a lot of gardeners and witches looking for ideas. I'm sharing what I do here on the blog, but I've also...
Back to square one for my mythological landscapes
Some of you may remember the acrylic painting I did of Niflheim. I've decided to create a series of mythological landscapes, but on a larger canvas. So I'm starting from scratch with Alfheim, the realm of the elves from Norse mythology. These are the first...
Beautiful postcards and connecting with artist worldwide
I enjoyed the fifth Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap as much as the previous ones. I got to connect with other artists around the world and see their art on beautiful postcards. Before I show you the postcards, I’d like to thank Kat for organizing this. She and her...
Connect & Care Campaign, a simple and colorful way to show you care
[tweet_box]Use these symbols to show you care[/tweet_box] This is from my 100 Sacred Symbols collection, and I thought of you when I selected it. Because today, I think, is a great day to connect, and express my appreciation. Nobody knows exactly what the spiral...
