'My Story '

I spent my early years in Copenhagen, Denmark in the '60's, and I have been

drawing, painting and creating for as long as I can remember.

My formal training in art began in 1984, and after pursuing a carreer

and raising a family, I eventually completed my BFA with a focus on

painting, photography and sculpture.

Following some years of contemplation and sometimes painful soul searching,

I realized that I could use my art making as a means to raise awareness

and to 'give back' some of what the universe has so graciously given.

Keeping this intention in mind, I have been experimenting with a variety of media,

intuitively putting my thoughts and ideas together to

relay a message of hope, compassion, selfless giving, and the power of

human connectedness. As I began displaying my art I became

determined to use my creativity for the betterment of

the world around me and as you will notice, many of the works in the

gallery are dedicated to a variety of charities and causes close to my heart.

I feel my art is most resolved when I have been able to touch another being

and thereby initiate a 'ripple' in the waters of life.

If you like what you are reading and have any input, I would love to

hear your thoughts and ideas.

In peace, Tina.
