Her project leading experience and involvement in great projects such as “The Art Break Project” has given her opportunity to study processes, among artists and academics together. “The Art Break Project” (Projekt Konstpaus) is a development project partially financed by the European Union (EU). The project team consisted of several artists, and academics such as archaeologists, cultural geographers, biologists and geologists. The main objective of the project team is to provide the basis for the construction of a culturally inspired walking and bicycle path designed with artistic character influenced primarily by the municipality’s extensive nature/cultural heritage.
