Nina Leth is a Danish artist and designer based in Hillerød with over 20 years of practice spanning surface pattern design, illustration, painting, and ceramics. Her pattern library of over 5,000 designs is distributed across print-on-demand platforms and available for licensing. She is represented by galleries including The Ode To, KBH Kunst, Minted, and Galleri Nijenkamp.
A deliberately broad aesthetic range - Leth describes herself as a "multi making artist." Selected pattern images reveal a mix of named botanical designs (Dandelion Seed, Sprutte Dayflower, Clemmentine Rose, Blooming Tulip), animal motifs (jaguar), and geometric structures (zig-zag). Colour palettes span mint, blush, russet, peach, and blue. The work has a confident Scandinavian-influenced print sensibility across categories.
Primarily vector-based work in Adobe Illustrator - chosen for quality retention at scale and ease of recolouring. Also works with watercolours, finger painting, and potato printing. Pattern files are licensing-ready vector format. Ceramics and woodturning form a separate parallel practice.
Print-on-demand platforms (Spoonflower, Society6, Patternbank, Minted) are the primary distribution channel. A selected placement image (Agnete greeting card) suggests stationery and gifting application. Named clients include Gyldendal (3 adult colouring books), Socialstyrelsen (3 campaigns), Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling, Frederiksborgs Slots (censored portrait exhibition), Politikken (fridge magnet, 1st place), and Adobe Draw (1st place). Open for licensing enquiries.
Over 20 years as a working artist, moving through painting, mixed media, printmaking, and eventually surface pattern design as a primary commercial focus. Early work included painting, canvas-cutting, and chewing gum portraiture (Frederiksborgs Slots censored portrait exhibition). Pattern design became the dominant practice; now operates a 5,000-design library.
Diverse botanical, floral, and animal motif patterns alongside geometric designs. Named pattern series include Dandelion Seed (mint and blush colourways), Sprutte Dayflower, Clemmentine Rose, Agnete (blue, purple), Rita (peach), and zig-zag geometric range. The breadth of styles is an intentional brand position.
