Inspired in her work by Henri Matisse, Ebba Grethe Moegelvang creates paintings with vivid colors and lively compositions that express a deeply felt passion for her subject matter. Like Matisse, an experience of her work is a feast for the imagination as well as the senses. Grethe 's use of multiple layers and textures invites the viewer to explore the imagery as one's gaze follows a visual line through her aesthetic landscapes. Van Gogh is also a notable influence, as Grethe 's work embraces the organic, curved, meandering lines of nature, leaving no surface neglected in her jubilant images.
Growing up in rural Denmark, Grethe has always been surrounded by the majesty of nature, yet hers are not naturalistic pictures, but an artist's sculpting of personal impressions transferred to the canvas, creating a tapestry of color and form.

Spirituality, and a sensitivity to our place in the world, also has an important presence in her work, as do personal memories as an inspirational resource. Her subjects seem to exist solely within the canvas as unique, semi-abstract creations, and her perceptive eye and skilled brushwork make these works truly engaging. A book of Grethe’s watercolors, At the End of the Rainbow, was published in 2007.
