Else Alfelt
In 1933, at the age of 23, she attended the International Folk High School in Elsinore. There she met her future husband, Carl-Henning Pedersen. They quickly married, and their daughter, Vibeke Alfelt, was born in 1934. During the period from 1934 to 1937, the couple faced financial struggles but continued to find inspiration. They painted on used canvases to keep creating art. This is how Pedersen began painting, as his wife gave him a used canvas and encouraged him to make it his own.
