Kerstin was born and raised near Uppsala, Sweden. She has been immersed in Swedish handicrafts her entire life- beginning on her family's farm in Karbo, Sweden. Kerstin was originally trained in traditional "sami" northern-Swedish Lapp jewelry design and fabrication in 1995. She has maintained her talents and has evolved and developed additional designs ever since. She refreshes her skills by spending as much time as possible in Sweden each summer with her family and friends.
She is an avid keyfiddler (the Swedish national instrument) and is involved in most all of the Swedish folk traditions. She currently resides in the USA, and is very involved throughout the Swedish community. She is an member of SWEA, VASA Order, the Swedish Church, is Director of the Swedish Songgroup "svenska sånggruppen" of Washington DC. Kerstin directs midsommar dances and many Christmas Lucia celebrations each year for Swedish cultural and diplomatic organizations- including the American Scandinavian Association, and the Swedish Embassy.
