Freelance artist working across large-scale digital illustrations and physical materials, reinterpreting her designs through manual techniques and exploring them across different mediums. Her work reflects a deep interest in the relationship between artwork and the space it inhabits, an awareness shaped by her background in architecture. Through art, she engages with themes of protest, reflection, and social commentary.

Since 2023, she has created several large-scale illustrations for Stadsgårdsterminalen, each exploring ideas linked to the concept of a Church of Culture and visual elements familiar to Kollektivet Livet. These works are defined by vibrant colours and bold compositions that draw from traditional church art, pop art, and street art, creating a striking dialogue between sacred symbolism and contemporary cultural expression. Earlier in her career, she collaborated with the scenography team for Satans Demokrati, creating immersive interiors using diverse techniques and donated or recycled materials.

As an architect, she focuses on functional, purpose-driven solutions that respond thoughtfully to their context. Alongside her artistic projects, she works as an information manager, supporting engineering teams through the development and maintenance of 3D modelling environments and hosting systems.

"The Holy / The Mundane", 2025

Foil decal, spray paint

The piece consists of a foil decal and a painted mural. It is, much like my earlier window artworks in Stadsgårdsterminalen, inspired by the visual language of church stained-glass art. I enjoy using the grand and symbolic form of what is traditionally considered “holy” to reflect on the ordinary.
The illustrations portray the everyday ways we perceive water – especially in urban domestic life – where its presence is constant yet often unnoticed. They aim to highlight how easily we take the luxury of accessible, clean water for granted, despite its vital role in our lives and the way it reflects our priorities.
