I make sculpture from wire, paper, textiles and light. I love giving form to things. My sculptures generally look like they were made by a three-year old. I love balancing wonky imperfection with perfect proportions. Many of my sculptures are meant to be hugged, to give comfort, or to silently be an observant part of the world.
All of my paintings and graphic art are vastly autobiographical, including the ones with confused giraffes, flying pigs, endless sets of not quite parallel lines, bunches of feet facing every which way and endless networks of imperfect triangles. A fair share of stuff flying into and out of the frame. Somehow it never fits.
I don’t do illustration often, but here you can see some of my favorite projects. I love the focus on meaning created by another human in illustration, the process of reinterpreting those meanings and adding your own voice to them, and especially the feeling of resonating with the world you get when things really go right.
I value sharing, especially sharing knowledge, enthusiasm, encouragement, kindness and compassion. I love being inspired through sharing. I guess that’s why I tend to share a lot of the new stuff I learn, as it starts making sense to me. My current biggest passion is teaching fellow artists how to set up their own portfolio websites.
Although I have several collections of apparel planned, here I am so far sharing only a few individual individual pieces I did for friends and family. Still working out a reasonable technological approach for the other pieces I have in mind.
I love stickers. I love seeing them in the streets, I love sticking them to my laptop and bullet journal, and I love the kind used in messengers. Here you can see the sticker packs I made for Telegram messenger, Printable stickers coming soon too.

Bird Love Radiant
This is a sketch I made with P5JS for my creative coding class (it will not work well on mobile devices, use something with a bigger screen and a keyboard if possible). You can move the left bird with arrows, and the right bird with AWSD.Pressing the spacebar will capture a screenshot of the current frame for you. P.S.: The birds are available as telegram stickers, check them out =)

BeregodinokogoKO telegram stickers
I started this sticker pack almost a year ago, in September 2020, as a present for my dad’s birthday. I had been listening to Sasha Sokolov’s “A School for Fools” on my dad’s recommendation, and we had been talking about the book a lot, quoting bits back and forth and enjoying the way the words were put together. You can find the Telegram version of the sticker pack here.

The Bird — Wire Sculpture
The Bird. 2018.Galvanized and non-galvanized 1mm steel wire. 26x17x16 cm. This buddy is one of my earlier experiments with steel wire. He is quite small – and very huggable, and the little brother of Bird with Heart. He’s the one who gave Bird with Heart the pear-shaped geometry – and some of his beak texture. He is unusual in that he’s fully made of 1mm gauge wire: most of the time I
