About me | The cats | My creations

My name is Viktoria, I was born 1983 and grew up in the town Jönköping in the southern part of Sweden. Jönköping is a small, rather sleepy town, but the surrounding nature is amazing. And the nature was the reason why I came back here after living for a few years in Gothenburg and Malmö. My parents still lives in Jönköping, but my brothers and my sister has moved for new adventures.

Animals and nature has always been a big part of my life, I grew up with Salukis (my parents bought their frist Saluki in 1971) and a housecat. I also had two horses of my own for a couple of years. I would love to have horses again at some point. Growing up, I was constatly out "running" in the forests with our dogs. The forest is still a place where I go daily to relax, meditate and exercise.

Apart from my interest for nature and animals, all things creative has always been a big part of my life. Anything from building my own furniture, photographing, painting, sewing and designing - to music, webdesign, gardening (I long to have a garden of my own) and interior design. I have an education in pattern-constructing (womenswear and menswear) from a pattern-constructing academy in Malmö. I have aslo taken courses in furniture makeing, silversmithery and singing. My other interests involves travelling (India is my favourite, including the amazing food!), watching movies (especially anime, comedys, adventure etc.), good food, shopping and sience (particularly astronomy). Music is also a big part of my life, I have grown up with singing in choirs as well as having private lessons. I love almost all kind of genres: jazz, blues, reagge, rock, opera, classical, musicals and many many more. A big musical influence for me, besidedes the more conventional music, is the electronic music. My partner is a DJ and electronic music producer. I have visited a lot of different countries to attend electronic music parties and festivals.

Me and my partner, Fredrik, lives right outside of Jönköping with our three indoor housecats and the Saluki Yazid. We hope to soon have the possibility to buy our own house, where I can practise my gardening, building and interior design skills and where Fredrik can have room for his studio. And of course, I long for more Salukis!
