About Lene
Hi - I'm Lene Daugaard. I am passionate about drawing and painting and this website is home to my small one-woman business Lene Daugaard Illustration.
I have drawn as far back as I can remember. As a child/schoolchild, my favorite motifs were animals - preferably dogs - and female motifs.
In my late teenage years I unfortunately stopped drawing. I may have been on a course here and there, but I felt that I lacked a development that could take me further and make me satisfied both in the process and with the result.
And it continued - well beyond the teenage years!
Then I found in the late 1990s - via the new "The Internet" :) - a colored pencil book by an American
artist, and it was going to set me on a completely new path. Here I finally found my catalyst in the form of guidance in drawing, which I had not been able to find before. And from here my development grew.
Both in drawing techniques and in the use of different media.
Many good books - and courses - have helped to develop the budding talent of my childhood. A fantastic journey, I am far from done with.
Today I draw and paint animals, nature and female motifs (:)) I also paint natural elements and man-made things.
I draw to immerse myself and experience through pen and brush. And then to please like-minded people who find the motifs inspiring.
Drawing background:
I am a trained graphic designer, have attended the School of Classical Drawing, the School of Graphic Design, Graphic School and Art&Design, as well as participated in courses over the years, e.g. croquis, colored pencil - I am happy to think back on my online courses with the astonishing cp-artist Bet Borgeson - acrylic and watercolor painting.
In 2021 I participated in Art2Life's online course Creative Visionary Programme. A very intense 3 month course on art principles. I have participated in a 1-year course at Miriam Schulzman's The Artist Incubator and participated in Stacie Bloomfield's "Leverage your art", which is a business course for illustrators and designers.

I hope we can connect and work together.
Why is it called Foxtail studio? When I had to choose a name, I definitely wanted an animal-related one, since animals are what I draw most often. I had this drawing of a fox that I thought would go well in a logo. And the name: I have customers both at home and abroad, so it was logical to choose an English one. I was quite inspired by both English illustrators' business names with animals and actually - English pub names! Then the name FoxTail popped up, that's how it came about ;)
Doggyshop
I have had my dog designs under the brand Doggyshop for several years.
I have drawn many dogs, and I sell them as designs on clothes, mugs, magnets, etc.
for those of you who love dogs. Interested? see the link Shop - Doggyshop above.
FemalesByLene
I have drawn female motifs on and off over the years, but the desire to cultivate the motif is unchanged.
Therefore, in 2024 I enter with this new brand and want to do more in this category.
Other Interests
When I'm not drawing, being out in nature is important to me. Nature is where I best recharge with renewed energy. My sister and I enjoy going on 1-day hikes around heaths and plantations and forests in Jutland.
My newest interest is clay. So I take great pleasure in shaping different things in clay and polymer clay.
I also like to visit zoos / greenhouses, I love watching films and musical theatre, and reading books. I would like to travel on holidays. And I enjoy doing yoga and being with my daughter and family.
I love animals, and find it important that we protect and care for both domestic and wild animals. I therefore support several organizations that work hard for animals and their environment. Animals are amazing and beautiful creatures and they have feelings.
I am interested in personal and spiritual development, which is why I meditate and continue to seek to expand my horizons in that direction. That's why I meditate and keep myself informed especially within De3Principles.
