About the Artist

Photo by: Fredrika Biström, Hymy Magazine 		      Aulikki, a "Legendary Mountain Woman," a "Finnish Cowgirl," was born in Finland and traveled throughout Europe and Northern Africa, as a journalist on a great adventure, for Madame Magazine.
      Her travels brought her across the Atlantic Ocean to United States, where her adventures continued in the Wild West as a Cowgirl, artist, and studio-antique store owner in Virginia city, Nevada, the heart of silver mining country. There Aulikki studied the art of silversmithing under the guidance of a master silversmith, Dick Copp.
      Aulikki’s curiosity brought her finally north to Alaska, the land of the midnight sun and northern lights -The last frontier, where she flew over glacier strewn Kenai Mountains with her own airplane.

      While living in Alaska, she became firearms instructor in five different categories, trained and certified by USA’s National Rifle Association.
      Aulikki made her home in Homer, Alaska, a mecca for artists from around the world.
      There she had her own Studio – Gallery, where she created and showed her silver and gold works, painted ceramics, leather, textile and written arts.

      All Aulikki’s works are one of a kind, signed, numbered, dated, photographed and catalogued. Aulikki also does works by custom-orders, and ships them around the world.
      Silver and gold works have a lifetime guarantee under normal wearing conditions.
     Her ceramics are painted with safe, nontoxic paints, and can be used with food.
      Aulikki’s art works has been shown in private, as well as international shows, where she has won numerous awards. Her works are owned by art collectors around the world.

      Aulikki has also written several popular children’s stories, a cookbook "Cooking With Love & Other Spice", a cooking column in a newspaper, as well as, an opinion column for the Alaska People Magazine.

For over eight years, through fall of 1999, every Saturday night, Aulikki produced and hosted “The Heart Of Saturday Night” -the hottest blues show on the south side of the Arctic Circle. She did this at the radio station KBBI 890 AM Homer, Alaska, and the last two years also to KDLL 91.9 FM Kenai.
In addition to Alaska “The Heart Of Saturday Night” has been heard live, as far as Trondheim, Norway.
