Playwright & Poet

I was born in Finland the year Chernobyl exploded, and I am exactly the same age as Lady Gaga. I sing when I feel safe enough, but mostly I write poems about sailors and restless people, create beautiful & disturbing poetic drama, and wear a lot of green clothes. I’m a delight to work with and besides being an artist, I also have experience-based understanding of the production and marketing side of things.

I work as a playwright, dramaturg & poet, and spoken word performer. I also do gigs with my performance art piece Poetry Fortunes. I am based in Aran Islands, where I first visited when I was seventeen, and never have I ever felt a home elsewhere in the world – so after few twists and turns and another seventeen years, I moved over. I work both in Finland and in Ireland, and am always interested in opportunities, especially in the fields specified below.

I have no special talents but a passionate interest toward
