I have always loved animals, specially dogs and horses.

 

In my childhood I was not allowed to have a dog but a cat and guinea pigs was ok.

 

Fortunately we lived in the country, surrounded by small farmers. Especially by one of those farmers I outlived my wish to be with four legged animals.Here were horses, cows and pigs besides dog, cat and mink, so what else could I ask for, and I spend as much time as I could on this farm and it became my second home.

 

When I left home it was with “ Sisse”, an 8 weeks old mixed puppy, under my arm, finally I was able to decide for myself.

Later on came cats, bantam, mountain goat, pigs and a calf, a horse and a donkey.

 

Nowadays I concentrate on dogs.

 

I am a member of the exhibition –and health committee in the Danish Spaniel Club.

 

I am a fully trained painter and decorater. I have my own small company called “Farvefeen”  (Colorfairy) and I paint mostly for private customers.

Moreover I love to work with forms, colors and decorations, and besides that restoration of old furniture.
