CV
Terese Blåklokke
Norwegian Sámi outsider artist
Born: 1988
Why the term "outsider artist" and not simply "artist"?
See the ABOUT ME page to read read the answer to this question,
the reason why I did not start my career as an artist earlier and also
why education is lacking in my resume.
Outsiders and Others – Participating in the group exhibition
«Loud and Proud» at the gallery Outsiders and Others in Vancouver,
Canada from May 9th to May 30th 2026.
Senja art association – Participating in the group exhibition for
members at the local art association gallery Senja Kunstforening
from May 7th to July 18th 2026.
EXPERIENCE AND ABILITIES
Northern sámi language – I completed the indigenous sámi language
course «Davvin 1» online at Folkeuniversitetet in 2025 and am now
taking the second course «Davvin 2» as well as a local course.
Lyrical poetry – In 2024 I started to write lyrical poetry.
My poems have been published in the mental health magazine
Mentalt Perspektiv and in the local newspaper Troms Folkeblad.
Speaking in front of an audience – I am comfortable with speaking,
reading my poetry or talking about my art in front of an audience.
I would like to use my experience within the topics of mental health,
creativity and being an indigenous sámi «without language» to inspire
others through relevant talks.
Illustration – I have made cover art or contributed with illustrations
and photographs for both physical and digital releases by the following
Norwegian artists: Einar Stray, Moddi, Dunderhonning, Valverde and
The Rose Chafer. I have made illustrations for an edition of the Norwegian
magazine Kamille and illustrations for the Norwegian animal rights
organization NOAH.
Personal projects – With good help from friends I printed up a small
edition of my two unofficial books «Blåboka» (The Blue Book) and
«Samme vei» (The Same Path) in 2012 with a releaseparty at Mono in
Oslo. Before christmas in 2025 I designed a christmas-zine which I gave
away or sold to family, friends and acquaintances in my hometown. This
year I have made artprints, cards and zines that I have sold at local fairs
and at a small art shop (SevenDesign Atelier) in Tromsø.
