I was born and raised in the oldest Kingdom in Europe: Denmark, home of the vikings and home of H. C. Andersen. It’s a small country spread over 400+ islands in the north.

Descended from old-world farmers, who worked the land with hands and horses, I grew up in a village of just 180 people, surrounded by beautiful nature and a wide variety of animals.

While still living in Denmark I attended The Academy of Fine Arts in Århus, before leaving my home country behind to continue my studies at Pratt Institute in New York City.

I was able to afford only one year at Pratt Institute. It was one of the best years of my life. After that, I was faced with the choice of returning home to Denmark or taking the leap into a career as an artist. I knew what I wanted – to be an artist, so I took the leap began my career as a freelance illustrator.

It has not always been an easy path, but it has always been the right path. Every day I wake up, I am so thankful I get to do this for a living. I now reside in Austin, Texas with my beloved husband, where I thrive as a full-time creator.

I’m passionate about folklore, mythology, and its impact on the human experience. I’m also enamored with imagination, nature, animals, whimsical worlds, fantasy art and the psychology behind, which are topics I frequently explore in my work.

“Myths are the roots of our souls.”

I’m a storyteller at heart, and am currently working on two book projects of my own making: Montague Mouse and Locke the Legend.

In my work I combine deeper themes of life with adventurous, whimsical, wondrous visuals, and sometimes with a touch of darkness and mystery.

Beyond art and writing I am passionate about animals, philosophy, art history, cooking, gaming, and Dungeons & Dragons.

I currently have the pleasure of sharing my quarters with three rescue felines (Minnie, Minion & Moxxi) and two rescue guinea pigs named Guineavere & Popchop.
