Classical statues are ensconced between vines and leaves, nearly swallowed by the undulating thicket. "Etched in Sunlight" features Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty, love, sexuality and fertility, abandoned in a lush garden of flowers and vines. Could this be the quiet fate of our own culture and would it be so terrible to invite the ants and the flowers to cover us?

My visit to Copenhagen was far too brief, but very, very sweet! Thank you ❤️ to everyone who came to the opening, and above all, thank you to Christoffer and Kristina Egelund and their brilliant team for making this exhibition come together joyfully and seamlessly.

I called the exhibition "Springflare" because it sounds like a cross between spring flower and fire. During this especially dark year I entered the studio every day and wanted to ignite the canvas so it would become a blaze of color and energy during this period for potential and change.

Thank you NY Times for the shout out! I was in Copenhagen for a solo show with Christoffer Egelelund Gallery when I received the news and was completely blown away. Gratitude. ❤️

I arrived in Copenhagen a few nights ago and walked past the Galleri Christoffer Egelund where I'll have my opening today. I squealed with delight, peeking through the windows at midnight. No was was around to hear me luckily.
My first stop the next day was the Botanical Gardens. What a delight! I missed it on my last visit to this amazing city. Do you see the butterfly cocoons and the spots of gold on them? In my happy place for sure.
Danes love their bicycles and the water - new floating houses.
