Description
I was born in Denmark in 1966 and lived in the suburbs of Copenhagen during the first 33 years of my life. In 1991, I completed a Master of Science degree in Pharmacy and at about the same time started to pursue painting as a hobby. During the years 1996 and 1997 I had two wonderful children. Together with my family, I moved to the USA in 1999 and spent the following years raising my children and painting in my spare time. My work with the paintings has grown into a full time pursuit of art since 2002.
My first structured learning experience in drawing and painting was during Middle school and into high school where I took classes in porcelain painting for 3 years under very skilled teachers from the Royal Danish Porcelain Company. An interest in art developed in high school when I saw two amazing exhibitions at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark: one featuring Magritte and another featuring Chagal.
During my years at the university, I went on travels in Europe every summer. Each time I would go to different countries and explore the nature, culture and art museums. I began to take up drawing and painting more seriously after a trip to Turkey in 1990. On this trip I met the Chinese/Canadian artist Yi-Tong Lok who inspired me to start painting. His advice and encouragement helped me get started.
