The traveling exhibitions with Bit Vejle’s artworks have been touring prominent museums all over Scandinavia, USA and China, meeting considerable public attention. They always gain high visitor numbers and have reached the highest number of visitors at several museums.

Marianne Steenholdt Bork

Aarhus, Denmark

Welcome to ceramist Marianne Steenholdt Bork! Marianne is particularly well known for her sumptuously exotic lion creatures, decorated in warm colors and with gold that shines in the dark. Elegance, expressiveness and touch of the primitive – these are all attributes that can be found in the elaborately decorated ceramics. She is inspired by nature and the stories and the pictures she encounters on her journeys.

Susanne Thea

Her exhibit “Snapshots: Traveling with the Poet H.C Andersen” has been shown at several American locations since 2020.

Susanne has received exhibition and travel grants both at home and abroad as a member of international graphic workshops and is represented in Sweden, Italy, Holland, Germany, the UK, Australia, and Canada as well as at museums in Denmark, Ireland, the USA and the Fiji Islands.
