I draw inspiration from quiet, reflective moments in life – chairs, cupboards, the way light falls on a plate of pears…. The Danish concept ”hygge” describes these moments as “being present enough to recognize and acknowledge an act, moment or feeling when the ordinary feels extraordinary.” My way of understanding the unassuming beauty, charm and comfort found in these moments, is through expressive mark making using different materials. Sometimes it is through small scratches of detailed, abstract patterns using a pen. Often it is through bold colours. Colour fascinates me, it brings me great joy to see how colours communicate and connect.
