CV.  Else Strandsbjerg Haakonsson                  Oversigt / Top                 

Born 1956 in Northzealand, Denmark.                

1981 qualified as a socialworker. Since 1995 I have worked intensively with    paiting  and  graphics.                                           

I am a member of two workshops and have taken many relevant courses,for example Grafisk Eksperimentarium   København ,Holbæk Kunsthøjskole.

In my graphic work I use various non-toxic teckniques e.g. photoplolymergravering , collographic and monotypies  .

My printingplates are  usually copper, cork, plastic and cardboard.

When painting I use acrylic on canvas, often with a scrapping technique on the surface.I have also employed collage in connection with my painting.

I am facinated by abstractions in nature as found in desolate and derelict places.I take many photographs which I use as inspiration.This can result in non-figurative,animal or maybe human motifs.I like working in series,usually 3-5 in number.
