About Lisbet

Born into a Norwegian family that has farmed the same plot of land for over a hundred years, Lisbet grew up surrounded by animals and green things, which cultivated a lifelong appreciation for creations great and small — and the earth that they inhabit. Driven by an innate curiosity, she set out to see the oceans, forests, and cities of the wider world.

A peripatetic decade ensued, wherein Lisbet spent years alternating between Germany, Australia, Japan, Spain, Costa Rica, and the East (Washington, DC, North Carolina) and the West (California and Oregon).

Drawing on her experiences from around the world, Lisbet is interested in exploring the complexities and contradictions surrounding societal issues and gender equality. Blended into her exploration of ideas are the impacts that familial relationships and environment factors. While we can never quite escape who we are, we can enjoy the tiny moments of beauty as they come.

Her current home is outside of Washington, D.C. in Alexandria, Virginia, where she lives with a monstera deliciosa named Simon and her dogs Djupvik, Nixon, and Ripley. Her artworks are currently held in private collections in the USA and Africa.
