About me

I'm Dagný Erla (she/her), a thirty-something Icelandic person still trying to find out what I want to do with my life. I've always been creative, and since I have ADHD (diagnosed in my 30s) I tend to jump between hobbies and artistic expressions a lot. Sometimes it's frustrating, but recently I've found that all the little skills I've built up over the years are proving useful in many ways.

My most recent obsession is ceramics, after I took a long-awaited beginners' class in wheel throwing. I fell in love with the process immediately and now my goal is to make ceramics my main career! You can take a look at some of my work in the Portfolio section.

Some other hobbies I've had/still have:

• Oil painting
