Hej og velkommen
Mit navn er Ida og jeg er billedkunstner med passion for at undervise og faciliterer kreative processer. Med en faglig baggrund i socialpsykologi og coaching interesserer jeg mig for menneskers psykiske liv og udvikling, og hvordan kunst og kunstneriske processer kan bruges til at forbedre mental sundhed og skabe eller styrke sociale bånd.
Jeg kalder min virksomhed for Art Connects fordi jeg mener, at det er det som kunsten kan – forbinde. Den kan forbinder os med vores tanker, følelser, fantasi og visioner eller med naturen, verden og med hinanden. Den kan forbinde det indre liv med den ydre verden.
Derfor finder jeg stor glæde i at hjælpe andre mennesker med at forbinde sig til deres indre kunstner og udfolde de mange muligheder der gemmer sig i deres kreativitet. Tak for at besøge min side – lad os sammen udforske kunstens magi!
Tilpassede workshops for virksomheder og private
Leder du efter en sjov og lærerig aktivitet til din næste fødselsdagsfest, teambuilding eller julefrokost? Så er et af mine kunst workshops måske lige det du søger. Du vælger selv din foretrukne kreative aktivitet og lokation. Du kan vælge selv at stå for materiale eller lade mig stå for det nødvendige. Jeg bruger altid kunstmaterialer af høj kvalitet for at sikre den bedste oplevelse. Workshoppen vil blive tilpasset efter arrangementets sammensætning og antal deltagere og prisen afhænger herfa. Læs om alle de forskellige kreative aktiviteter jeg tilbyder nedenfor.

This portrait have no name yet. Let me know in the comments if you have a suggestion. It’s painted from a black and white photo so I have experimented with colors, using really thick layers of cobolt blue in the shadows.
Today I will start a portrait challenge with @sktchy doing one portrait a day for the next 30 days. Maybe it will cure my obsession with watercolor portraits, but there is also a big likelihood that it will make it worse.

Part of a new portrait. I am in love with watercolor portraits these days and I wonder if I will ever paint anything else again 🤷♀️

I wrote this poem in 2020 and just came across it again, so I felt like sharing it.
In my artistic life, I have experienced long dry periods where I don’t feel creative at all – I just paint. Those times are good for developing technical skills.
But the true blessing in an artistic life is when the muse within begins to speak. And I have to say, she can be a tough boss sometimes. And where is the HR department in this setup?
It can be really hard to balance creative work with other responsibilities or commitments, especially with children, as they are a creative nature force of their own, demanding almost all your attention.
These days, I am starting to find comfort in the fact that my daughter is old enough that I have more time and balance in my life to also pursue creativity.

I filmed the process of my painting of @janmikkel_knitting over several days.
It’s been so nice to work with such a bright and saturated colors palette on large watercolor paper. It measures around 40 x 50 cm.

A couple of weeks ago, I did a portrait recording session for @selvtid. I had just mentioned to them that I had never painted brown skin tones before, and shortly after leaving, I went to Torvehallerne.
There, I spotted @janmikkel_knitting. He was impossible to miss - sitting calmly and knitting in the coffee shop, wearing bright, beautiful knitted clothes that lit up the entire scene.
I secretly watched him for a few minutes, until I realized I couldn’t leave without asking for his permission to photograph him and paint his portrait.
I approached him and told him that I found him beautiful and that I’d love to paint him. Honestly, I’ve never approached a stranger in public with such a request before, but he had such an aura of kindness and creativity that made me feel comfortable doing so. Luckily, he agreed.
And here is the result! Both he and I are very happy with it. You can check out his amazing knitting creations on his Instagram @janmikkel_knitting
So, beware if you stand out in public, looking sweet and different from the typical grey Copenhagen look - you might become my next art project!
