I  was supposed to have been a girl. But I surely was a boy. I had to do everything on my own. I never have really talked to anybody until recently. I became a loner. The only baggage from my childhood was to accomplice something in order to have any attention. And to avoid feelings by joking and working. I became a loner and a fighter.   Fighting for mental survival.   I had all the "success" that anybody could want. I was a very bright student in school. I was a very talented soccer player. I was a very talented yachtsman. I had the most beautiful girlfriend with a rich family. I graduated from high school and I had a little attention, but just a little. I was married a loving, good looking, beautiful rich girlfriend and got a little attention, but just a little. I had three wonderful sons and got a little attention, but just a little. I was educated in computer science - graduating with "a straight A" and I got a little attention, but just a little. I became the boss of a municipality's computer department and I got a little attention, but just a little. I started my own businesses in the computer world. I became a managing director and later chairman of the board of my own companies. I suddenly got some attention. It was devastating. I sold the companies becoming one of the first computer millionaires in Denmark.   I became an artist. A successful artist. Being a millionaire and a successful artist I had my parent's - their family and friends' - full attention. That was what it took.

Happy Birthday
 
As I realized this I took a break to recover from that lifelong depression due to a totally lack of reasonable values. As I had accompliced to reach the goals I was taught - and reviled the emptiness of those goals - sure a break was necessary. In this period of time I made the paintings in "Sad Days" - Exhibition of Paintings.

They are existential, very emotional expressionistic paintings.
  I went back to a new life. I became a person. I became me.
Alowing myself to feel.
Figuring out my own goals.   I re-found my own very unique artistically expression -
for the right reasons - in simple shapes and bright colors. Which is not only an artistically expression - it's an attitude of life.   My artist statement is: Colorful zen Simplicity in art as in life.    See Exhibition 2 - "Happy Days" and Exhibition 10 - "Storytelling and Fairy Tale Days".    I have exhibited in a lot of places - in Denmark as well as abroad,
