"Jotain todella voimaannuttavaa on tuossa syvälle sisimpään katsovassa naisessa.Miten ihmeessä olet onnistunut vangitsemaan niin paljon elämää ja voimaa tauluun. Elämäni parhaita hankintoja ikinä."“Marikalta ostamani maalaus toimii minulle kaamosajan masennuksesta yleensä kärsivänä kuin kirkasvalolamppu. Saan mielenrauhaa ja voimaa. Olen niin kiitollinen ja onnellinen taulusta.""Töistäsi huokuu kauneus ja tahto tehdä hyvää. Sinulla on lahja maalata tauluja, joilla on katsojalleen/omistajalleen parantava, voimauttava ja eheyttävä vaikutus.""The universe is finding it’s balance in her works."- Feedback for my artKey themes in my works are emotions, appreciation of ourselves, acceptance and personal growth.

When I started as a private family day care provider year 2015, I soon noticed that it seemed very difficult for parents in the Espoo city to find family day care businesses. There was no single place to find information. It was scattered if it existed at all. Also my fellow business owners were struggling to find the customers. I decided to change this and create a platform that would serve both families looking for private day care for their children and also for the day care providers to advertise their services. I designed and created http://eypph.fi webpage for all family day care business owners to market their services for free. I negotiated with Espoo city to have that page on the Espoo city early education web pages and to be promoted in their social media. I also created a Facebook community for the private family daycare entrepreneurs in order to have a working network among all of them. At first I used solely my own money and time to create this webpage and community. However soon I started to offer sponsorship for companies like Heureka, Haltia and Aurora. Currently I agree all the sponsorship contracts, take care of the advertisements from the companies, update the webpage with the day care companies contact information, and update both the public and private Facebook pages of the Daycare Providers. In addition to serve Espoo city, families and business owners, I succeeded to raise awareness of Private Family Day Care as an Early Education option. Webpage is viewed over 14000 times a year and it is nowadays an important source to find the info of the family day care places. It also works as a advertisement page for selected sponsors. I am proud and happy for the fact that I created a network of business owners who support me and each other. Together we have nowadays more influence and results regarding the Early Education politics in Espoo.
