Born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, I moved to the United States in 1997 and have been a Utah resident since 1998. I earned my BFA in photography from the University of Utah in 2001 and graduated Summa Cum Laude from the MFA photography program at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California in 2011.
My work is exhibited in Museums, art galleries, and other public and private institutions. I have received international recognition through the Art of Photography Show, the Oceanside Museum of Art, and the Adobe Design Achievement Awards. I have also exhibited in premier venues where I live in Salt Lake City, Utah including the Springville Museum of Art, Kimball Art Center, Art Access, Eccles Community Art Center, Bountiful/Davis Art Center, Rio Gallery, Finch Lane Gallery and the Natural History Museum.
As a professional visual artist, I provide commercial photography and graphic design services. To see examples, please visit www.LightKeeperOnline.com.
