Gender Female

Occupation Artist
Location Kilkenny, Ireland
Introduction I was born in Denmark, but moved to Ireland in 2007. I am very lucky to live in an area rich in natural beauty and heritage. My paintings are inspired by folklore, history, mythology and the natural world. I try to capture that sense of mystery and magic which has been sadly pushed aside in our culture, in the hope that others too will enjoy these little reminders of the sometimes quirky, sometimes haunting beliefs and traditions of older times. My favorite colour is the luxuriant, deep Windsor violet, which you will find in most of my paintings. My favorite season is autumn, which is why you will often see bare branches, grey mist and earthy colours in my work. I hope you will enjoy visiting this site, and look forward to updating it with more paintings.
