MY ARTIST JOURNEY

Almost two years ago, I decided to change my direction in life. From working with couture to get back to my old passion, painting.

From an early age I was exposed to the Art world by visiting various art exhibitions with my late uncle, who was an avid Art collector.
Of course, what I did not know at that time, was the influence this would have on me. Though, today it is very clear.

Through the years, I have always had a need and a desire to create in one way or the other.
When I was younger, I attended different creative courses and drawing classes. Later on, I had some classic training at the Art Academy of Funen in Denmark, where I spend a few years.

In 1996, I decided to focus on design and graduated as a fashion designer and teacher from The Couture department at The College of Arts and Crafts in Odense, Denmark.
After obtaining my degree in 1999, I started my own design business in Denmark and later on in Montreal until 2019.
From then on, I finally decided it was time to embrace my passion for Art, by committing fully into painting. Now, it finally feels like the circle is complete. Take a look at some of my paintings here and here.

If you have any questions or are looking for original piece of abstract art, feel free to contact me. I am also open for studio visits; just notify me in advance. Thank you!
