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.

Raven Wing
It came to me one night to do a Raven's wing in this way. I've always loved corvids, including Ravens, and I've done some drawings of them previously. But this time I wanted to do a painting, and I wanted it to be more abstract. So I created this Raven's Wing in...
Nebula Self
This intuitive painting was made as an image of my higher self for a ritual. I got the idea of making it in the form of a nebula. It just felt right. I still haven't gotten the message for what to do with it, so I wait. It's in Gouache on watercolour paper.
