About Me

Borgholm, Öland, Sweden
I'm Malin, a 26 year old freelance artist, illustrator and silly person in general. I'm currently aiming to finish my Bachelor's degree in Art History. My biggest passion in life is art and I work mostly in traditional mediums. In 2006 I studied Asian Art at Hawaii Pacific University, along with jewelry design and ceramics at Honolulu Academy of Arts. After that I went to art school in France at Paris American Academy and since 2008 I've been back in Sweden, studying Art History, design, literature etc. I've also been teaching acrylic painting at Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan in Kalmar for a few years as well as at SV in Borgholm. At the moment I'm living with my fiance in Belgium and we are eagerly planning to move to Sweden. I do commissions and a lot of the pieces shown in the gallery are for sale so don't hesitate to contact me about prices etc.

Sleepless nights

Many things on my mind lately, that's probably why I find falling asleep so difficult at the moment. As always I wish I had more time to be creative but we don't always get what we want right away. I've even started dreaming about art, about painting and drawing. Like an addict craving a fix. I guess it's only a matter of time before I start sniffing my paints in secrecy. ;) Although, the creativity cravings were somewhat subdued by the creating of a very silly birthday present for a friend. Very poorly executed but seemingly still much appreciated. :D Just goes to show that heart is everything eh?

On a sidenote: Mental slap. Have to get better at updating blog. End of message.
