Inge was born in Denmark and graduated from the Funen Academy of Fine Arts (Odense, Denmark) in 1992. As a Danish artist now residing in Canada, Inge draws inspiration from her memories growing up in the Nordic and her present-day experiences. Her still life and imaginary paintings and drawings are created using a variety of mediums, including watercolour, egg tempera and graphite. While she enjoys painting from real life, she also creates imaginary scenes using carefully selected props and references.
Inge's use of watercolour is experimental, pushing the medium to its limits to achieve unique effects. She enjoys rendering details in her work, but also recognizes the importance of abstraction to keep the viewer engaged. Her ultimate goal is to create pieces that evoke emotion and invite the viewer to take a closer look.
Inge's work has been accepted into numerous exhibitions and juried shows. She is an elected member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour and The Allied Artists of America and has won several awards for her work.
Overall, Inge's work is a reflection of her Nordic roots and her appreciation for the simple beauties of everyday life. Through her use of various mediums and techniques, she creates pieces that invite the viewer to explore and appreciate the imaginary world and the simple things around them.
