About

Thank you for visiting my little blog, I hope you find something that inspires you, just as I find so much inspiration on all the wonderfully creative blogs I love to visit and discover.

My name is Katja and I live in Switzerland. Nordljus means "northern light" in Swedish, and my dream is live in a place somewhere up in the North where I can see the Northern Lights from my garden.Who knows, maybe one day :).

I have been painting with acrylics for over 15 years, and I have just re-discovered watercolours recently. You'll also find me taking up my sketchbook regularly (well, more or less anyway) to get back into a sketching and drawing routine. If I don't have brush, pencil or pen in my hand, I'm probably running around with one or more of my camera (a DSLR and a selection of vintage Polaroid cameras) or iPhone, or sitting at my computer, post-processing the hundreds of shots I've taken. You also often find me relaxing in my chair immersed in a good book. Always with a cup of tea at hand.

I blog about the creative journey I'm undertaking, sharing my work and process, and all the things, small and big, that inspire me.



Hello! I'm happy to hear from you in English.

Hallo and Hoi! Selbstverständlich kannst Du mir auch gerne auf Deutsch oder Schwyzerdüütsch schreiben.

Hej! Det går också bra att skriva på Svenska.
