The studio
Located in a rustic template loft in Copenhagen. This is the studio where I paint, where ideas evolve and observations are reworked. A space to try out techniques. Presently I’m exploring acrylic, watercolour, pencil, ink and gouache.
Sketchbooks serve as references from in situ experiences and reflections. A source of inspiration and for deep creative work.

During the warmer months, colours saturate the banks of the Rhône as vineyards and farmer's markets come to life. The river gives life to art, wine and food. Inspired by this, the historic hotel, Château de Fontager, author of "Callas Cooking", Bill Rathje and myself have curated a break where you can try watercolour painting, visit local vineyards and farmers' markets during your stay at the historic chateau in the Rhône valley. An immersive experience that will inspire you. Details reception@chateaudefontager.fr
