ABOUT SARAH
I am a 32-year-old woman residing in Aarhus and have a background in fashion design. For as long as I can remember, I have had a desire to express myself creatively, and it is where I find my inner peace and feel most comfortable. After the birth of my daughter in the fall of 2022 and a subsequent diagnosis of PTSD and a period of illness, I picked up my brushes and spatulas again after several years of pause. I needed to rediscover myself.
The many years in the fashion industry with thousands of different fabrics in my hands inspired me to combine my two great passions. The tranquility that comes from sitting and working on an artwork is now what I strive to recreate and convey. The soft forms that textiles create when they crinkle, fold, and glide over a canvas are, for me, the greatest source of inspiration. Textiles can evoke so many impressions. For example, snuggling into freshly washed bedding, which, for me, is one of the best sensory experiences in everyday life. Can that feeling be captured on a canvas? That’s how the “sunday” series started and also Artful Layers.
ABOUT ARTFULLAYERS
Artful Layers started as a hobby business with the aim of not only creating wall art but also expanding the concept to include different types and forms of art in the future. I dream of collaborations with artists across the industry and have many goals and ambitions for the future. No two of our art pieces are the same since everything is handmade, allowing the materials to move as they please. Additionally, all artworks are numbered and signed. All canvases and frames are locally produced in Aarhus because it is important to me to support small businesses in the local community.
I love to explore and challenge myself along the way, and i am incredibly grateful for the reception and engagement I have received so far!
