I can’t explain my love for colours in details. It’s too deep. Do you know this feeling? It’s like there is something that just pulls me and won’t let go. Something is talking to me. Making me heart sing. Making my soul swing. It’s unpredictable. And it’s certain!
I’m working on releasing a studio newsletter soon. I’m going to be talking a little bit about my new video “How To Do Intuitive Painting”. I am quite thrilled about this video, and the release of it!
It was mostly done on a whim (following a spontaneous idea). But now that it is all in the making I see how BRILLIANT and perfect it is. The idea. The making of it. The process. For me right now. I am certain that YOU will like it, too! And who knows, very soon I might be offering my own intuitive art painting classes - LIVE! Wouldn’t that be a dream come true!
I leave you with this picture. It is not mine, but a photo I found on Pinterest, a place where you can find ALL sorts of photos, artworks and inspiration just by searching for it (if only everything else was that easy, ey?). It is an image of the Acorn Gatherer by shamanic artist Faith Nolton.
Faith is already on my list of favourite artists, and right now I am reading her latest book Gardens Of The Soul: Making Sacred And Shamanic Art. It is such a wonderful book and it inspires me GREATLY! If you like shamanic art, if you are new to how to go about deepening your connection with nature - or, if you haven't a clue how to get started on any meaningful sketches at all, Faith's book is wonderful, powerful and SOUL-full!
Until next time, ciao and TAKE CARE!

Acorn Gatherer by Faith Nolton
Would you look at this WONDERFUL place on the planet! This spot is the most recent place to offer my handmade sunshine greeting cards! Yay!
I'll tell you all about it! But first, let me share with you how a piece of reclaimed oak transformed into a very simple display unit for the cards. First I painted the wood. With colours I just felt like dipping into at the time. A tree, sun and rain. Then i stuck two needle pins in! Very simple! These are pictures from the process.
The final display
And here are photos from inside the yoga studio!
A proud and happy me and my cards :)
I am so ABSOLUTELY EXCITED to have my cards in Kate and Robert's Radiant Light Retreats yoga studio! Let me share with you my story with this place, and why it is so important for me to have my cards here!
I first met Kate and Robert and visited their beautiful house and the yoga studio in the summer of 2012. I had just graduated with a MA in illustration from Denmark and needed some time off to be myself. So I went to southern France to take some time to recuperate. On this particular day, the weather was beautiful (like on these pictures here), and my first time in the yoga studio was magical. I really felt embraced and loved, and the yoga and meditation we did was pure nourishment for my SOUL. It helped me remind myself of my spirituality, and the importance it has in my life.
I have visited the yoga studio many times since, and always feel a sense of peace and connection there. I have also had many wonderful visions in the room, including the vision of this painting.
I am SO delighted that my cards are allowed in this sacred space, where so much awareness, transformation and healing is taking place. It's such a loving space and so effortless to be in! THANK YOU!
Having my cards here also remind me, that I would like to sell my cards in places of LOVE and appreciation. In this space they can completely shine in the way they were intended without judgement or competition!
