A Swedish Artist & Entrepreneur in Elroy, Wisconsin USA

 
 

 

 

  
Born in Sweden 1946. 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!

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.
 
After having had the restaurant running during four years, I have now changed the set-up a bit. See the new open hours as well as the new Menu here. You will also be able to order online. Both frozen dough for Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois and pizzas for local pick-up. 

 
     

 

    
 

 

  
The Elroy - Sparta Bike trail, the "Mother" of all bike trails starts here.
So I figured one could maybe also get motorcycles to come here. Bike as Bike. So I started Elroy Bike Meet. Motorcycles in June and bicycles in October. More about the Bike Meet  www.elroybikemeet.com

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...
