I grew up in Western Jutland, near a river, with its water flow and transport, running down the year round. This early "being" closely linked to the water cycle, I guess, influenced my painting. Gave it its own dynamics and naivety. At the same time the rythm of the flowing water and the mystique of understanding the rivervalley and the flow also influenced the educational direction I chose. First as a civilengineer (specialized in hydrology and hydraulics). Later in my practice as a working hydrologist (now with 25 years of experience within the field of hydrology and modelling). My own practical experience started with hydrometry and methods for measurement of flow in rivers. Later I began to explore groundwater modelling, and subsequently, I focused on modelling of the interactionen between groundwater and surface water exchange on a catchment scale. Recently, the challenge of integrating knowledge from modelling and monitoring became a new research fields, and how to best involve stakeholders in the decision making process and adaptive water management. This moves me toward a growing interest for better understanding the human factor as part of management of natural resources. Then, two years ago, I finalised a master degree in Psychology of Organisation (MPO) at RUC which again provided new inspiration for me, now coming in from social sciences. All the way there was a dialectic interaction between drawing and painting on the one side, and practising hydrology on the other.
