I'm a Prop Maker and a Performer from Iceland and I am also keen on taking on illustration projects. 
I graduated with a Foundation Degree in Prop Making and Special Effects, and a BA (Hons) in Theatre Arts.
Before I moved to Brighton in 2013 I both did a Foundation year
in Fine Art at the Reykjavík Art Academy and also in a Folk high school in Denmark.

I'm super enthusiastic to get involved in any kind of creative projects so don't be shy to get in touch and I'm also happy to answer any questions about my work.
