Come spend a day in the Haus with me - filming, zine-making, a fabulous outfit, and time with some of my favourite people in the world.
In January I opened an exhibition at MDS Gallery in Copenhagen called Things Men Have Said To Me Instead Of Hello - the culmination of a year’s worth of thought and labour. And in March, for International Women's Day, I sat down with gender studies scholar Elisabeth Gehrke to talk about it live on stage.
A while back, Jennifer and I spent an afternoon making puppets in my studio. No plan, no tutorial, just a bunch of scrap materials and a great big dollop of FAFO attitude. This is what that looked like.
Kick off your shoes and snuggle up on the couch with me as I share the 12 books that earned 5 stars from me in 2025.
What does it mean to deliberately put your 45-year-old body into the world when culture has decided women your age should be fading quietly into the background? What's the difference between being looked at and choosing to be seen? What does it mean to be visible?
Join me for two days of my artist life in Copenhagen.
Lars burst into my studio the other day and said, ‘I just found an event with your name on it - it’s called ‘Community In Otherness’ and it’s part of CPH Zine Fest.’ This is the story of what happened next.

This week join me as I visit my friend's new gallery, attend another friend's exhibition (in a VERY twirly coat), make some graphics, go dancing at a goth night (the outfit gasp), and give you my thoughts on a book that had a profound effect on me.
Join me for a week behind the scenes of my art biz (and life) as I plan and shoot a treasure hunt campaign for a painting collection release, work on my new collection Things Men Have Said To Me Instead Of Hello, and live my life out and about in beautiful Copenhagen. All in fabulous outfits, of course 😜.
Lady monsters, exhibition highlights, and new work! All the goss from February
The catalogue from an exhibition about forgotten female Impressionists, a deep dive into my heroine: the rebellious Suzanne Valadon, and a fabulous collection of costume illustrations from Christian Lacroix.
Victorian floriography, alexithymia, and emotions expressed as flowers - in this video I walk you through a few of my favourite pieces from the Tussie Mussie collection.
Watch me draw whilst I chat about what I’ve been up to and what’s been inspiring me lately
