"My work lives in the joyful tension between chaos and harmony, where color and line collide in playful, often absurd arrangements. I create imagined worlds populated by exuberant forms, emotional textures, and a cast of expressive shapes and symbols that suggest story without anchoring it. Humor, instinct, and spontaneity are my materials as much as pastel, paint, or paper."
Born in 1971 in Oslo, Norway and raised in New York, Fanny brings a cross-cultural sensibility to her work — one that balances Northern whimsy with urban intensity. She currently lives and works in Maine, where her practice continues to evolve through intuition, humor, and a deep love of expressive form.
