About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to make sure that everybody knows how much art can change their lives (and make sure that talented artists all over the world gets out there) - and then I want a neon-covered, cage-infested, bass-playing strip club (also with art on the walls).

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty calm, happy girl, living in Copenhagen with my roommate Gregers, who's a painter. I'm an artist myself too (I do painting, sculpture and a bit of photography). I work at a gallery and love all kinds of art. I like to read, cook and look at art and cats. I also like to be social, but I'm a little shy at times. But most of the time, I'm quite outgoing and I can be crazy and impulsive too!

I've been traveling quite a bit, both for work and play. I sail on a Dutch sail ship from time to time and through there, I get to experience travelling from another perspective.

PHILOSOPHY

"You have to have the devil in you to succeed in any of the arts" - Voltaire

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Overcame my fright of heights. Fought an eating disorder. Fell in love twice. Made body art with raw meat. Gave away to my love of skeletons and anatomy.

I know crazy many different artists. I know a lot of cult movies. I have funny stories from when I was a cook on a ship. I draw. I like to enjoy small things and often have weird ideas about them.
