Practice as an artist since 1969 while working as an art teacher of comprehensive and upper secondary school until 2001. Solo exhibitions, performance- and video installations and numerous performances in Finland and other countries. Since 1990 concentrated mainly in performance art. Since 2002 combines often video with live performance. In individual video works so far, camera has often been more a substitute for a paintbrush than a tool for telling direct stories. Most of the performance and video works deal with trying to find the universal level in personal experiences. 2004 received The State Prize for Visual Art.
