Location: Denmark

I am born at a small island, Bornholm, Denmark and now live and work in Humlebæk close to theartmuseum Louisiana north of Copenhagen.
I am autodidact as a painter, and find my inspiration in my everyday experiences in nature, music and poetry
I think of contemporary art as ways of communicating experiences of significance - intertwining life and and art -"as a dreaming voice of freedom, beauty and hope pointing toward radical aliveness and love of all life .

In this way my art is a cantillation of the living now and of the creative dimension in every living now.
Latest invited as a guest artist by Galleria MonteOliveto and s lot of international exhibitions e.g. Curated exhibitions: I Segnalati Edinburgh nov, 2015; Biennale Chianciano-Art Museum of Chianciano, september 2015; Art Expo, Future Memories, Venice, august 2015; Solo Exhibition at Marziart Hamburg Germany january 2015; Salon Gustave Eiffel 2014; Museum of America 2011; Firenze Biennale 2011, Gallery Broadway, New York 2011; Nyart Beijing Project 2011.

the heartland as the key to transformation and creativity “the heartland as the key to transformation and creativity”
