      A Marine Artist's Portfolio - Susanne Fournais Grube

      Introduction

      Coming from Denmark, the sea has always played an important part in my life. The country – aside from the Jutland peninsula – comprises an archipelago of more than 400 islands, some small and some big, that nestle from the Baltic Sea to the Skagerrak. Whilst many of the busier crossings – such as those linking the island of Funen with Zealand and Jutland – have now been provided with bridges, it is only comparatively recently that these were not served by ferries. Many of the smaller islands, however, are still only connected by boat.

      The Danes have always been mariners; the Vikings were great explorers and, through them, Denmark came to dominate the north Atlantic. The Orkneys, Shetlands, Faroes, Iceland and Greenland all have a long association with Scandinavia in general and Denmark in particular. The Viking raiders brought terror to much of Britain, but left a rich inheritance in terms of language, culture, place names and people; 1,000 years after Danish monarchs sat on the throne of England, it is still possible to trace bloodlines that owe their origins to these Viking marauders and settlers.

      As a nation without many natural resources, Denmark has also been forced to trade; it is no accident that a number of Danish shipping lines are amongst the most significant in the world today. The sea did, however, provide one great resource – fish – and countless coastal communities relied upon this to provide their living. Today, oil, gas and renewable wind energy have increased the importance of the sea to us Danes. The close relationship between these communities and the sea is reflected in the tradition of placing models of ships in many parish churches in the country.

      I’ve been very fortunate in being able to demonstrate this love of and fascination in the sea and shipping through art. Much of my work is represented by private commissions, but
