A Swedish Artist & Pizza Maker in Elroy, Wisconsin USA

 
 

 









 

  
Born in Sweden and moved to Wisconsin, USA in 2001.
It was time for a change in life. The life had come to a standstill
and I wanted more out of it...so I took my talents cross the Atlantic Ocean.
     
   
 
     
    When I started to paint in 1987, I started out using gouache.
Moving to USA I changed to acrylics. Coming to rural Wisconsin also added a new dimension to my creativity. I started taking photos of old farm houses, farm equipment left in the field as well as moments of life.
It is with my photography as it is with my art. I have neither attended
a class in art nor in photography. The way I see it. You either have a talent or you don't.

Last year, 2008 I made my first oil paintings. Read the story behind many of my paintings and the photography. Go to the Gallery / Store above and you will be linked into the head of my creating process.
Thanks for visiting!

Bloody Viking & Pizza Store


 
 


When I first came here I worked as a Chef for a year. Then I took
my art on the road only to discover that I couldn't live on clean air, beautiful scenery and art shows alone, I actually had to work...

So, I went back to the kitchen and opened up my third pizza parlor,
my first in USA. Read guest comments here at my own Wall of Fame
In the restaurant you will find originals and prints as well as smaller items with my art work.
 
The restaurant will close its doors on September 5, 2009.
The community is too small to get it to work. However I will still
be cooking for those of you who wants to order the frozen dough,
the Italian made Tiramisu and the Swedish blended dark roasted ZOEGAS coffee. You can download the menu / order list here.
 The overnight shipping of frozen pizza dough to Minnesota, Wisconsin & Illinois has been cancelled due to information from other businesses that the forwarder is not always shipping overnight as stated by them. You can still order the other items.

If you want another excuse for coming to this small rural town just between Twin Cities and Chicago - come for the surrounding beauty. Or just come for the ride...
