The Danish painter Ann Lundén Jacoby, born in Sweden, went a long way before her artistic talent popped up from deep down. Trained as a sociologist from Uppsala University, it took her over twenty years to choose another track than the academic. She started as a personal manager and concert producer in the classical music life of Copenhagen and ran her small business for ten years. Ann celebrated her 50th birthday by arranging a big charity gala for the Academy of Music in Sarajevo with 40 participating artists. Shortly afterwards, she began to fall into a deep depression, a room without a language. Long walks outside of Copenhagen was her only way to avoid the chaos.
Ann recalls:-
"Suddenly I noticed a different world than before. I started to register that the trees had different forms and colours.
