Important Moments in my life.
They have shaped my passion for creativity and humanity, and made me who I am today.
Born in Denmark in 1958. I had a wonderful childhood, loving horseback riding and swimming.
Passioned about fashion and design, I opened my own fashions shops in my 20’ies. My interest for art and design has followed me my whole life.
I met my French husband Pierre in 1987, and we got two beautiful boys.
In 2001, we moved to France, then to Zurich, where I worked as Lifestyle photographer.
In 2011, we adventured to Papua New Guinea, where I saw a need for education and created Play Schools for the local children. It was a huge challenge to live and work in a third world country, but with amazing human experiences.
My love for photography was well rewarded those years in this land with beautiful people, different cultures, and amazing landscapes. Read More..
In Papua New Guinea, I met many wonderful women. They live in a country, where women’s rights are limited. I arranged awareness meetings to help them fight against violence and to teach them their rights in life.
My interest for humanitarian work was initiated during our stay in Papua New Guinea. With very little effort, you can change people’s life conditions.
Papua New Guinea offered a lot of fantastic photography opportunities. Amongst them hidden and secret rituals and ceremonies.
As well as encounters with the locals in their villages during weddings and funerals.
Back in Europe , I started a Foundation in 2021 called A Wish for Humanity with the goal to raise funds by selling art to finance education and protection of children around the world.
I started out with selling my own art, but rapidly other artists were contacting me to participate as well.
We supported 4 women founded organizations; A Breeze of Hope in Bolivia, rescuing girls victims of rape. Land of Hope in Nigeria, rescuing children accused of witch craft. Greenlamp in Ethiopia, educating mid-wives and Himalayan Children in Nepal, offering free education for poor mountain children.
93 artworks were sold through art events and 96.000€ collected. 40 artists worldwide donated generously their art for us to sell for fundraising. My own art was sold as well.
In 2020, I participated in my first photo workshop in Myanmar, with Steve McCurry as the leading photographer.
I love to discover new places and new people. Although I have been traveling a lot in my life, participating in these special trips with other passionate photographers gives photography a whole new meaning to me. We work with local guides who assure to be at the rigth place at the right time.
Since the first workshops, I have been traveling to Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba, Japan and the Caribbean Islands to capture moments of emotion during encounters with the local population.
“ A photograph can hold a a second still. But sometimes it can hold an entire life”.

Although A Wish for Humanity has been closed, I am still supporting children’s educating and protection through the sale of my art.
