On a cloudy autumn day in October when the trees were bare, I found Snauvalds.

This little farm felt like it had been forgotten for decades. The garden was completely wild with old fruit trees. Tall trees covered the buildings. I knew nothing about Snauvalds, but I felt my soul calm down when I stepped into the garden. This is where I wanted to build my creative sphere and home!


This was October 2013 and in the spring the work began with two months of clearing and burning. My first thought was to make my studio in the barn, but it was in too bad a condition. So while we built a new barn and studio, and kept all the old equipment, I started working in the woodshed.

Since 2016, I have welcomed curious visitors to my studio to see my creations, and for those who want to try it themselves, I also lead workshops in making "metal flowers."

Today I make my flowers in the same place where the old cow "Blomma" once stood. I hammer my metal on the anvil of my father who passed away far too soon, and I live in "Cat Annie's" house, which I have come to know from all the stories told by passersby, who welcome us to the farm. This place has many stories and now I create new ones...
