I grew up in a creative environment on a rose farm in Iceland, surrounded by nature and animals, which deeply influenced my artistic sensibility. From an early age, I was drawn to patterns, textiles, and storytelling, shaping a lifelong passion for exploring their meanings and histories.

I am an Icelandic artist, curator, and educator with a background in fashion and textile design. My work focuses on the process of making, experimenting with color, texture, and form, while drawing from the history and culture of symbols and patterns in textiles. I see art, fashion, and design as fluid disciplines, where boundaries dissolve, and creativity flows freely.

At the core of my practice is an interest in connection, both metaphorically and through material exploration. I bring people together, build communities, and create spaces for artistic exchange. Through my work, I explore hybrid layers of craft and technology, integrating digital embroidery, digital weaving, painted motifs, storytelling, and shamanic influences

Early in my career, I ran my own fashion and textile studio in Reykjavík, and over the past 15 years, I have lived and worked in New York, Berlin, and Reykjavík. In Reykjavík, I served as Head of Textiles at the Reykjavík School of Visual Arts, and I am now based in New York, where I continue my studio practice at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City while serving as the Director of Edelkoort Inc. and New York Textile Month.

My work is a constant dialogue between past and future, tradition and innovation, embracing the tactile, the symbolic, and the emotional power of materials. I create not for labels or definitions, but for the sake of creativity itself, an evolving, layered process of discovery.
