My new book is finally available at Barnes & Noble as well as on Amazon.
Sojourner in a Foreign Landis a personal story about immigration, the search for spiritual belonging, sexual and gender identity, and how childhood trauma influences a human life. As a Scandinavian immigrant, I was blessed with privileges other ethnic groups did not have. Still, it was a struggle to start from the bottom. The book also describes life in Copenhagen, Denmark, in the fifties and sixties, and what it means to leave your culture and traditions behind.

Writing icons.

I spent the last couple of days writing this icon. I call it the icon of Mary Magdalene. It could also be the Holy Mother Mary, I am not sure since I do not read Greek or Russian. This is my thirtee attempt on painting icons. I feel like I am slowly progressing.
