She was one of the two women in the CoBrA. She was married to Carl-Henning Pedersen, also a veteran of CoBrA. She has a distinct realistic sense of colours, no outer side effects disturbs her in painting what matters; she expresses her experiences from the lyric to the dramatic, always concordant to the living. In the game of the colours you find some exciting lightness; in the fabric you find a delicate modulation. Green and blue and yellow may be a dream of summer, endless fields, sparkling yellow, green and blue. Light grey , dark grey, soft as fog, hard as a rock, the life of the city in a universal sense. Lines interlaced vigoursly criss cross sometimes taking shape of a phantom. The pictures contains often a few main colours, but endless nuanced. It is not a blow in a thrumpet, that wakes us up; but absorption is demanded from us in a sensitive and rich nuanced world of colours. In her fantasy her expression is without chains, free, light and female. Egill Jacobsen - Helhesten 1943. She was also the person learning Carl-Henning Pedersen to paint, when she was away he borrowed her palette and brush, as they barely had room in their apartment for 2 persons painting at the same time. Her paintings are full of mountains, ice, and the moon, she has also made a lot of mosaics. Now she has her own museum opened in 1976 next to 'Herning Kunstmuseum' named after herself, and Carl-Henning Pedersen.
