THE PERSON BEHIND THE PORTRAIT

In her own words

I’ve always had an indomitable appetite for life-the world is mine to experience. I met my husband on a vacation in the Caribbean-the most wonderful Englishman, he proposed to me in Sydney on a round-the-world trip and since then we’ve lived in London, Montenegro and Italy before settling in Denmark with our now 14-year-old twins. My professional self has VosperBoligstyling. The feeling of having your own company is amazing-and I’m so proud of everything we’ve achieved. Our team is growing all the time and I have the best colleagues. I don’t always feel like a power woman, but when I look at my portrait, I can see that I have power in my eyes. I think everyone needs to look at themselves with new eyes once in a while-see what others see. Not to focus on mistakes and inadequacies. I know deep down that I’m a power woman – even on Sunday mornings and when I’m tired on Tuesday nights. Because power is something I carry with me every day, when I remember to find the peace, the depth in my everyday life, when I play tennis and when I open the door to our studio and meet the team every morning. Life is to be lived and it’s great.
