In this episode of Artists Mindset, I visit painter Lot Winter at her studio in Kunsthus Tese in Aarhus — a vibrant creative space for exhibitions, process, and collaboration. Lot’s path to becoming a full-time artist wasn’t straightforward. From technical school to fashion design, from theatre to illustration, she spent years calling herself a designer — until a persistent inner voice during the pandemic led her to painting. That choice changed everything.
