Artist Bio

​

I am a contemporary artist from Denmark, living in Titirangi, Auckland with my kiwi husband and two kids.

​

You can see my work at The Railway Street Gallery in New Market. 

​

Making sculptures was my big passion in my younger days, which I started up again in early 2020.  Around the same time I began to explore abstract painting using acrylic, oil pastels and pencils.

I paint intuitively and get inspired by my surroundings, music and the mood I am in. I create to lose track of time, to be totally absorbed, to be mindful of shapes, colours and lines. Every painting or sculpture is like a little piece of me, my voice, feelings, thoughts starts on a blank canvas or a lump of clay and I stop when it feels right. 

When a painting is sold a percentage is donated so a native tree can be planted in New Zealand.  I use Resene paints as I know they also are conscious of the environment and make sure they give back to nature. 

​

If you have questions, feel free to get in contact. I am also happy to arrange a private viewing. 

Look forward to hear from you.

All the Best
