“I was born in Denmark in 1951, I grew up with an easel in the living room, not mine – my mother’s mother was always painting and drawing. I remember a childhood where there was always a pencil within reach. I did like most other kids, I. drew when I was little but that ended at about 12-14 years of age. In high school, I began to do photography, eventually I got my own darkroom where I made lots of black and white prints and enlargements.In 1975 I married Annette and together we have 3 children, 2 in-laws and three grandchildren.

Around 2001 when my Mother gave me a watercolour book and some crayons, I began to slowly see the world around me in a new way. A few years later, I enrolled in a sculpture course, and even later I had the opportunity to take life drawing and basic portrait courses.

I am an amateur artist, I do what I do because it brings me joy and relaxation. My drawing space ( 6.2 square meters ) is an important place in our home. For recreation, relaxation and creative work. I am privileged that I have this opportunity… and a wife who thinks it’s ok I spend time on this kind of “work”!”
