Studio Notes

This landscape drawing captures early spring in the Danish countryside, focusing on the quiet transition between seasons. In early spring, it starts at ground level. Before the trees fully open, the forest floor shifts first. Anemones spread in clusters, low and white, while the rest of the landscape is still holding back. Landscape drawing in colored pencil inspired by early spring in Denmark. The air is lighter, but not yet warm. You hear more than you see — birds moving so

It's still green, mostly, but not the same green as July. By early September, the Danish landscape has begun to change before autumn has properly arrived. Fields have turned yellow and ochre, the grass is duller, and the light disappears a little earlier each evening. It's one of my favourite times of year to draw. Pressed summer flowers kept as color and drawing reference in my Copenhagen studio. I tend to notice color first. The combinations are less obvious than they are i

There’s something about the visual language of the past - muted tones, a certain elegance, and the handmade texture of things.

Not necessarily through the famous streets or landmarks, but in smaller details — the pattern of old tiles in a hallway, the glow of a kitchen window on a winter afternoon, or the brief moment when someone pauses by the water. As a Danish illustrator based in Copenhagen, I often begin my drawings with these small observations. I rarely set out to document a place directly. Instead, I notice fragments of a place — a gesture, a p

As a Danish illustrator, I'm rarely interested in spectacle. What draws me instead are places and objects that have absorbed years of everyday life—railway stations, old interiors, weathered buildings, and landscapes that feel connected to Danish history. Those details often become the starting point for my illustrations. A vintage-inspired railway illustration influenced by Danish railway history, historical reference material, and mid-century visual storytelling. This drawi

What does a typical day look like for a Danish illustrator? For me, the answer changes depending on the season, the work in front of me, and whether the day leans more toward drawing or toward acting. Still, certain rhythms return again and again — small routines that shape how I move between illustration, writing, and screen work. I’m a Danish illustrator and actress based in Copenhagen, and I’ve always been drawn to work that centres on mood, nostalgic detail, history, and
