Telling stories nobody cares about

Hello, my name is Lone and I'm from Denmark.

I have taken a lot of creative courses and worked as a facepainter for several years. But quit, took another education, worked as a middle leader, quit, took a another job, but also quit that. There was too little room for creativity.

So now I try to make a living by doing illustrations of (Nordic) nature, legends and history. Mostly in watercolor.

And also tell the story behind.

But few are interested. And I have trouble with the whole networking thing. I am bad at names and forget to reach out to relevant people.

I hope this program will help me finishing ideas for getting jobs and just focus in general.

My diagnosis is new. I am still trying to figure out how it has and is affecting my life. It sure has resulted in a lot of masking!

For fun I like to do different creative stuff. From visible mending, making miniatures, and historic clothing, to gardening, looking for nature materials on walks and bushcraft.

Here is a recent project I am proud of: a coloring book with animals, plants and so from the Danish nature. One for each letter in the alphabet. Normally I would do the research, make a few drawings and then move on to the next project. But I finished this 😀

(I don't think that was meant with meaningful. I was just more inspired by sharing a victory)
