Overview
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
