Short CV in English:
Painter and graphic artist that uses many different techniques as watercolour, eggoiltempera, intaglio (different graphics techn.) and mixed techniques.

She mostly likes to paint from nature, the daily life and have affection for flowers.
The great tapestry artist Hannah Ryggens work "Mother's heart" has inspired Oksvold to create many works of art in a mixture of intaglio and watercolour where each image gets a unique graphic intaglio / artwork.
Her experience of being a mother with all the joys and sorrows that it brings, is a theme for the rest of your life once you've got children.
Many of Torils watercolours are scratched in the paper that she herself has inflicted on, so that it looks like threads from a tapestry tissue.
"I always listen to many sorts of music, and get ideas and insperation to do my art. Blues is close to my heart, and many works is made from listening to Bluesmusic. I must listen to music every day, - can`t live without it"

INTERNATIONAL WATERCOLOUR BIENNIAL "BALTIC Klaw ran an international mail-order business out of his store, Movie Star News, selling cheesecake pinups and bondage/spanking photos. In academic discourse, racial fetishism is a postcolonialist term found in the writings of authors such as Homi K. The arousal from being desperate comes from the sensation of having a full bladder. The term lesbian is also used with regard to sexual identity or sexual behavior, regardless of sexual orientation, or as an adjective to characterize or associate nouns with female homosexuality or same-sex attraction. Saliva pornography involves salivation and saliva. The reverse of this, in which nude women interact with clothed men, is called Clothed male, naked female . For uncircumcised males, stimulation of the penis in this way comes from the pumping of the foreskin, in which the foreskin is held and slid up and down over the glans, which depending on foreskin length, is completely or partially covered and then uncovered in a rapid motion. It may be used as foreplay, or as an alternative to sexual penetration. Omorashi: The act of holding one own urine until the need to urinate is urgent, making another hold in their urine, or watching another person with an urgent need to urinate. Gay-for-pay describes male or female actors, pornographic stars, or sex workers who self-identify as heterosexual but who are paid to act or perform as homosexual professionally. Examples of heterosexual pornographic film series featuring creampies include Cream Filled Teens and Internal Cumbustion. Threesome can also refer to a love triangle, a three-way romantic relationship. If ejaculation is onto the other person face it can be called a facial. Normal quantities of ejaculate range from 1.5 to 5.0 milliliters . For instance, Amateur Allure has a trademark shot where the sexually performing cameraman circles a handycam around the sexually performing model head. It has also been recommended as a form of foreplay or safer sex. Real medical shots or videos may violate old milf privacy laws in some countries.BRIDGES. RESONANCE" Kaunas, 2014
