“To travel is to live,” said Danish fairytale author, H.C. Andersen. See his words come to life in “Snapshots,” an art exhibition by Danish artist, Susanne Thea. H.C. Andersen is known for his world-famous fairytales from “The Little Mermaid” to “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” and many more.

The art exhibition “Snapshots” takes you on a journey with H.C. Andersen. To create the exhibit, Susanne Thea “mind traveled” via Google to visit the places H.C. Andersen vividly describes in his diaries. The intimate, dreamlike, hand-colored copper etchings tell a story, inciting the viewers curiosity to “turn the page” and explore further with the artist and the author.

Opening night reception: March 5th 2020
