It all started with a vacation to the Rhode Island in Creece in
the late 80.s. Little did I know that that vacation would make a major
change in my life. I met a girl who I dated for awhile after the
vacation from Dalarna. Back then I was a die hard Stockholm inhabitant. She invited me to the area and before long I was invited to Dalarna and overwhelmed with the surrounding scenery. Back home I tried to capture what I saw on a newly purchased sketchbook. My schetches improved after sketch after sketch. Before long I was encouraged to attend to some local exebitions to show my earlier work. The visitors liked my work and I started to spend more and more time with these. I worked with my drawings while visiting Orsa, my parents had back then purchased a house there. In 1996 I finally moved to Mora in pursuit with work as a fulltime artist. Though my pencil work was regonized, but not to be compared with "real" paintings, so I made shift.. |

From day one in Mora I started to experient with watercolors to find out its possibilities,
and its limitations in four different paintings not shown here (one eagle, a lynx and two
sceneries). I found out that I could translate my aim and visions to watercolors while
working on landscapes while fured animals would be harder, but I still am looking by
experimenting a mean with these colors more effective way to give it a sence of softness.
During 1998-1999 I will spend time learning to use computers here in Mora and this is the sole reason why I plan not to attend to exebitions att all during this period. But during the fall I plan to go back to painting and to exebitions. My major influences is the beauty of the mother nature itself. By the way, all paintings and drawings are sized 60cm X 80 cm or 80 X 60 cm, unless noted otherwise. |

| I have so far received very favorable comments for my work by people and by the local media, and by fellow artists aswell. I do not have to much contact with the local art community, except for naturally, my mother who is a painter as well I made a homepage with her work so please check it out on Helinä Ahokas Webgallery., and Peter Häger, a terrific painter and a good friend. As an addition to painting, I'm planning do some designing of commercial and private webpages, layouts and illustrations. So far I have made a CD-cover for IMPACT MACHINE s first album. A small booklet for Ryssagården, a large booklet and posters and several seasonprograms for Mora IF. Mora IF are playing in the next highest league of the Swedish national league. Also a set of booklets for the entire season for Steens Hockeyskola. See more details on my NEWS PAGE! |

I am also designed the homepage for the venerable swedish blues band
Sky High, witch I am the webmaster
for. They have been around for over two decades and recorded a load of albums. I hope you
like to visit it!
More Music? I have also made a home page for another bluesband called CC Knights. Another project is a homepage for a local rockband called Trashcan which I have taken some live photos on. It will be out there soon. If you want more information on my personal musical taste and comments click here. Music is an important art form, and I have allways been into it.... |
