Completed middle school graduation from N.C.Koch's school in Aarhus 1961. Joined Master Teaching as a blacksmith and machine worker in 1962 and finished at the machine factory in 1965. Had various jobs until 1968, but all the time with the painting side by side.

The interest in painting and art of painting, I got from artist John Sparre Christensen in 1960, who gave me the first Artistic and Technical guidance. Started painting in earnest in 1968, but the idea had been there for several years.

Began as a Landscape Painter, and very soon after, as an Abstract Painter. Over the years, it has resulted in Abstract and Abstract / Surrealist Art as well as classic Surrealism, which unfolds in a Fabulous, and Distorted narrative, which can be quite enigmatic.

Moved to Gothenburg, Sweden in 1969, collaborating with other Artists such as K.G.H. Köllisch, who had studied in Berlin 1929 - 1933, as well as Eric Norman Nordstrøm, who had studied at Worcester City Artschool, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Later came Bant Nandra, India who had studied at the London Academy of Arts. Out of this collaboration, an Artist Group was established, which was dissolved in 1978. Eric Norman and I were on several study trips together.

A collaboration with Architect and painter Poul Anders, Aarslev, Denmark in 1971, who had just returned to Denmark, from the U.S.A., created an even greater insight into the painter's techniques and colors.
