ABOUT METTE
As a Danish lawyer, Mette was appointed to India with the Danish Foreign Service. That career was somewhat abbreviated when she married a Canadian Diplomat and commenced a family of four sons — each born in a different country. During a posting to Australia, Mette finally found time to return to a childhood passion — oil painting. Studies at the Canberra School of Art, and experience with a number of notable artists in Australia and Canada, provided the foundation for developing her interest in painting into a new career. She has had exhibitions and conducted workshops in many far-flung places — in Canada and Denmark of course, but also locations as varied as Greenland, Italy, Australia, New Caledonia and the USA.

She now lives in Dunrobin (1/2 hour from the centre of Ottawa) and has a large bright studio right in the house. This is where she paints, teaches and shows her work — both paintings and art-textiles.
