“Art in public spaces”, is a beautiful catalog with vivid color illustrations, some full page, of a glass and mosaic artist’s journey. She is one of the first in Denmark to be part of the glass art movement, devoted to designing and fabricating public art, using her mediums glass and mosaics. About her work she says, “Public art is a duet with architecture an inspiration for the viewer and a poetic dimension to a space”. In her more that 50 public art commissions in Europe and United States for schools, Universities, public squares, City Halls, senior centers, libraries, public swimming halls etc., she uses stained glass, painted/ tempered glass, sandblasted glass, and mosaics with many different variations of methods, always trying out new solutions. Apart from her public art  she has another experimental, personal line of work, such as glass sculptures, garden sculptures, benches, glass/ steel sculptures and narrative fused glass pieces.
