Lena’s Swedish roots were humble, but rich with experience that served her well on her Artistic Journey working as photographer and graphic designer.

She graduated with a Graphic Design, Advertising and Public Relations degree from RMI-Berghs Professional University in Stockholm 1986. The following year she started her own Advertising Agency, Ordovison (Word and Vision), with clients like Diners Club, Hansa Compagniet (Department store), and the Swedish National Road Administration.

To broaden her growing interest in the Arts, Lena attended California Arts Institute (Cal Arts) in Los Angeles in 1993. The artistic climate in California and the multiplicity of cultures that coexist there together strongly attracted her and allowed her to experience new types of media and visual expression. One such means of visual expression was sculpture. Her love and passion for sculpture immediately happened when she first put her hands on the clay, enjoying the visual tactile combination of elements. While attending Cal Arts, she trained with Sculptor Jonathan Bickart. During her time assisting him they completed a 14 foot tall bronze monument of Col. Griffith J. Griffith, that can be seen at the Los Feliz entrance of Griffith Park, Los Angeles.

Today, Lena works both as a photographer and graphic designer: She names them her own Yin and Yang, as they are equally important elements for her creative flow. And to expand her work and interest in motion graphics and media, she and some friends in Stockholm just started a new production company: FlyMama Sweden.
