Dorthe Taxbøl

I was born in 1953. Living in Copenhagen I was trained as an illustrator at a public relations bureau loong befor the computer was invented.

My formal training was 3 years a ”Akademiet for Fri og Merkantil Kunst” in Copenhagen. I have participated in masterclases at the painter Gerda Swane in Denmark and with Tim Stotz Studio Escalier in Paris.

I have been painting the last 40 years, and you could say that my paintings still relates to illustrations I always paints figurative and uses a colorful palette. My favorit motifs are people and especially portraits interests me. Usually I paint with acrylic on canvas or aquarell on paper.
