Jette Knudsen Cott came to Canada from Denmark with her parents and siblings in the 1950s. All her life, she has been passionate about the beauty of the world around her and what she could do to make it more so.

Since 2001, when she retired from her long career as a creative stylist in the hair and fashion fields, Jette has been devoting her time to painting. She works primarily in acrylics and water colours.

Jette draws much of her inspiration from everyday visions such as nature’s scenery, children at play, florals and still life. Her craft brings her incredible joy and the she enjoys the enthusiasm for her work of those who collect it.
