How did you come up with your shop name?
I decided to open my shop and share my art with the world once I moved to Denmark. I really wanted to work with my art and my husband supported the idea. I'm not all that good in Danish, but my English is rather good so at first I decided to name my shop Mystic Grove. Then I asked the opinion of a friend and she told me that it didn't sound right ... So I decided to name my shop in an unusual way. Since I do live in Denmark now, I decided to use Danish instead. Drømme Lund means Dreamy Grove and I think the name embodies everything my art stands for. The ability to use our imagination and walk into enchanting, dreamy forests :)

What sparked your love for fantasy?
Hmm.. I must have been younger than 10. Someone has bought a book of Hans Christian Andersen but it was in English. I didn't know the language back then, but I enjoyed looking at the photos and imagine what the book was about. The thing that opened my mind, soul and heart to fantasy was The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien. I was mesmerized and this book made me dream of fantasy worlds every night. I was 16 at that point :)

If you were a fantasy character or creature, what would you be and why?
I would like to be an elf in Middle Earth. I love the ethereal beauty and their wisdom, but honestly, I think I would be a hobbit because of my love of food, drink and nature :)
