Tina Lindegaard/ Begbie Studios

'My Story '

I spent my early years in Copenhagen, Denmark in the '60's,

and moved to Canada at the age of ten.

I have been drawing, painting and creating for as long as I can remember,

and eventually completed my BFA with a focus on

painting, photography and sculpture.

Following some years of jubilation, contemplation, and at times, painful soul searching,

I realized that I needed to use my creativity as a means to raise awareness of the world around me, and the greater good.

Through my art,

I want to 'give back' some of what the universe has so graciously given to me.

As a painter, I gravitate to vibrant colors and intense contrasts.

I focus on intuitively putting together my thoughts and inspirations,

always allowing for those 'little accidents' that will set the work apart.

I strive to relay a message of living with passion and conviction,

and the power of human connectedness.

With this intention in mind, many of the works in the

galleries are dedicated to a variety of causes close to my heart.

My art is only truly resolved when I am able to initiate a 'ripple' in the waters of life.

I welcome your thoughts.

In peace, Tina.
