Wahlberg Ann Lund
- Denmark
| Ann has lived with spastic paralysis since birth. After completing primary school, she attended grammar school and later graduated from Aalborg University in Denmark on February 1997 with a degree in social sciences. From an early age, she learned to carry out everyday tasks using her mouth — a skill that naturally led her to begin painting and drawing.
In 1996, Ann exhibited her work publicly for the first time. She was awarded a scholarship from the Association in 1998, enabling her to devote more time to her artistic development while also working as a social worker. The scholarship provided opportunities for her to attend courses at various art schools, and in 2002 she made the decision to leave her social work career and dedicate herself entirely to painting. In 2005, she became an Associate Member of the VDMFK. Ann’s preferred subjects include people, landscapes, and flowers, but she is also known for creating abstract works rich in symbolism. Her favourite media are watercolours and acrylics, as well as charcoal and crayons. In 2019, she was elected to the board of the VDMFK, a position she continues to hold. Building friendships and connections with fellow mouth and foot painting artists around the world is one of her passions, and she maintains especially close ties with her colleagues in the Scandinavian countries. |
