Hello! I’m Marie.

I strive to create art that allows you to dream away. Life is hard and I believe a great power and peace lies in our dreams and imagination. Through my art, I hope to inspire people like yourself.

I grew up in the south of England, born to two Danish parents. I’ve have been making art since I was little. It started with little drawings and bloomed as the years went by into all kinds of mediums and creations. I studied art in school and college in the UK, and have done many evening classes and courses in different techniques. I’ve always been learning and creating throughout my life.

In 2019 I suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) that shook my world. It was just a silly accident involving a cupboard. Who knows when something like that’s on the calendar? No one – that’s who. There’s no planning for accidents.

After the injury I lost a lot of my fine motor and gross motor control, not to mention short term and working memory. It’s a long story, but I got better with the help of fantastic specialists, family, friends and support groups. If you’re struggling, you need to find the right help. And find your people. Most importantly, don’t give up. There IS light at the end of the tunnel.

I’m not quite back to how I was, and probably won’t be. But I’m still here and that’s all that matters. Art was my way back to me – to retrain my coordination and regain my sense of self.

I hope my art and journey can light a way for you.

Marie 🙂
