Jeg havde en søster, der var uforskammet god til det kreative, så jeg nøjedes med min hest. Jeg blev pædagog; der arbejder man jo også kreativt med ungerne. Vi havde hvert vort område på arbejde, så jeg tog en diplomuddannelse i billedkunst.
Først sent i livet jeg kom rigtig i gang, efter en stor sorg i privatlivet. Jeg kunne ingenting, ikke læse, kun fungere på arbejde. Men så fandt jeg gennem Facebook et kursus i akrylmaling. Det var sjovt, men vigtigst var det at jeg opdagede, at jeg kunne fortabe mig selv, og glemme tid og sted.
Min passion for heste har været livslang, så der dukker heste op i billederne gang på gang. Og jeg spreder mig glad og gerne over mange materialer, det hele skal prøves: oliepastel, akryl, collager, nu sidst abstrakt med stensils, hvor jeg laver mønstre og strukturer, fylder ud, har serigrafirammer, laver lag på lag på lag og det ser forfærdeligt ud! Men lige pludselig – så samler det sig.
Folk spørger, hvornår jeg kan vide, at det er færdigt? Det ved jeg aldrig. Men lige pludselig, måske bare med en lillebitte detalje, så er det på plads. Færdig!

I had a sister who was incredibly creative, but luckily I had my horse. I became a teacher; you also work creatively with children there. We each had our own area of ??work, so I took a diploma in fine arts.
It wasn't until late in life that I really got started, after a great deal of grief in my private life. I couldn't do anything, couldn't read, could only function at work. But then I found a course in acrylic painting through Facebook. It was fun, but most importantly I discovered that I could lose myself and forget time and place.
My passion for horses has been lifelong, so horses appear in the pictures time and time again. And I happily and willingly spread myself across many materials, everything has to be tried: oil pastels, acrylics, collages, and recently abstract with stencils, where I create patterns and structures, fill in, have silkscreen frames, do layer upon layer upon layer and it looks terrible! But all of a sudden – it comes together.
People ask when I can know it's finished? I never know. But suddenly, maybe just with a tiny detail, it's in place. Done!
