The Norwegian Embassy has a vision to spread knowledge about Norwegian art and culture.
We support numerous exhibitions, conserts and different cultural events in Denmark.
This project we have called "Artist of the Month", and our aim is to present artworks made of professionel norwegian artists living in Denmark, by literally giving them "a wall to hang art upon".
We are very happy to support and help the artists, and at the same time we are very proud that they enlighten and make the hall of the Embassy more beautiful.

In her artistic works, she finds sources of inspiration from the elements and the processes taking place the nature.
She makes both large tapestries and embroidery on painted canvas.She often uses microscopic photoes of details in the nature, such as plowers, plants, leaves or planctons. A process of movement is taking place, and she aims to create new stories. By adding elements and dissolve details,she refers to an unstable condition. An attempt to literally nail something intangable and in change is taking place in her artworks. Basically she aims to make a tribute to the cyclus of nature.
