I am now in Denmark and as a Dane I just have to comment on the weather as this is always one of the most talked about subjects in Denmark! Somewhat more chilly than hot and humid Kuala Lumpur, despite or maybe because of that, I am still enjoying my time here. So far at the time of writing I have experienced a lovely hot Summer’s day and a cold rainy day in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
Shortly I will be on the way to Jylland, more specifically to Fur where I have the most lovely artist home in an old house from 1885. It’s in the middle of nowhere (almost) with a wonderful view over fenne and fjord and a peek towards the old Vitskoel Kloster (monastery).\u00a0It was bought when I was still in my Mum’s tummy by my artist Granddad as his Summerhouse… he bought it because the light is so special on Fur amongst others and it’s a great place to create art. I am so proud to be able to continue in his and my Mum’s footsteps! Please drop by if you are in the vicinity of Fur but do give me a buzz first.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0year I will be participating in 2 group exhibitions and you are invited\u00a0to come and join at the opening party… or you can of course drop by any time at your\u00a0convenience if you happen to be in Denmark.\u00a0For both exhibitions I am joining the artist group Furkunst.dk<\/p>\n
Vernisage in Kulturspinderiet, Silkeborg on 6 July!<\/strong><\/p>\n The first exhibition I will be part of is in Kulturspinderiet in in the old Papirfabrikken (paper factory) in\u00a0Silkeborg. It should be a rather big exhibition as it’s a spacious\u00a0exhibition hall. I will bring several paintings for this exhibition but Opening party:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Friday 6 July 2012 \u00a0at 16.00 hrs to 19.00 hrs See location on Google maps:\u00a0http:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/RzIn<\/a><\/p>\n If you can’t attend the opening party then feel free to come any othe\u00a0day.

\nLife is hectic and fun at the moment because not only am I participating on\u00a0two exhibitions in Denmark over the Summer, I am also in the middle of\u00a0producing my first training DVD and workbook! I am happy to work together\u00a0with a good editor and from what I can see, the DVD will be very\u00a0professionally made. The workbook is still in the making as well but I have\u00a0also taken on board a graphic designer so the looks should be sleek! More\u00a0news on this after my Summer break.<\/p>\n
\nI always saw my art on clothing, I think it’s a great way of spreading\u00a0joyful and colourful energy. This vision of mine is now becoming a\u00a0reality with the first two Art Ts in the making. I am very excitedabout this and I am awaiting the first samples soon… you will have to\u00a0wait to see the designs I am afraid.<\/p>\n

\nI am so happy to now have secured a collaboration with the Expat\u00a0Magazine about making this exhibition a reality. It all started when I\u00a0saw the most perfect space for an art exhibition but realistically I\u00a0would not be able to fill it on my own… so why not create a large\u00a0group exhibition?
\nI worked on the idea and realised that there has never been an\u00a0expatriate art exhibition in Malaysia. The obvious was therefore to\u00a0create the first exhibition in Malaysia with resident expatriate\u00a0artists.
\nSince then I have been talking to a number of Ambassadors who all love\u00a0the idea of cultural exchange in this format. Best of all, I have the\u00a0Expat Magazine as my partner in organising this event. The magazine is\u00a0the premier magazine in Malaysia targetting the expatriate market and\u00a0they have always been into supporting up and coming local artists. For\u00a0them it was the obvious expansion of horizons to collaborate on my\u00a0project… and work is in progress, slowly but surely.
\nWe are still trying to finalise the most perfect venue and a good date.We are hoping for November 2012. At the same time, we are working on\u00a0locating resident expatriate artists so if you know of any living in
\nMalaysia who might be interested please let them contact me.\u00a0I will let you know more as things progress.<\/p>\n
