Tine Hecht-Pedersen (b. 1958 in Aarhus).
Sculptor and painter.
Tine Hecht-Pedersen is educated at The Free Academy, The Hague, Netherlands, and at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Professor Hein Heinsen and Bjørn Nørgaard. She later studied at The School of Art Communication – also at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
Tine is inspired by nature, its colors, and scents. She directly uses nature in her art – for example, by making impressions of a leaf in clay. Tine says (quote from "In a Garden with Sculptures" p. 7 by Pier Maria Andersen):
"The leaves I use the most are geraniums. I always have geraniums outside my studio, and in winter they come into my studio. I often use circles in my art, and the geranium is a flower with the most circular shape, a shape I enjoy using."
Tine works quickly and expressively, using many different materials and strong colors. Tine is known as a skilled communicator and educator. She works with user involvement and creation. She works with user involvement and creates projects together with children and adults.
Tine also carries out several projects in collaboration with her spouse, Pontus Kjerrman.
Tine Hecht-Pedersen has decorated numerous private and public institutions, and she is represented at the Vejen Art Museum with several works. She has sold to, among others, the Ny Carlsberg Foundation, the Vejen Art Museum, the Clay Ceramic Museum, and the Oslo Municipal Art Collection. She is a member of the Visual Artists' Association, the Artists' Society, KKS, and Danish Craft & Design.
