And behind every image on your notebook is a little story.

So, pick up your pen, and be inspired!

So much more than a notebook 

• Discover the 25 PhotoArt images including some of the best-loved Bornholm sites:  Hammershus Castle Ruin; Hammer Odde Lighthouse; Snogebæk Smokery; 12^th Century Nyker Church; Opal Lake; Salomon’s Chapel; Balka Beach; Gudhjem Mill and terracotta rooftops; and Allinge Church.
• Enjoy the detail of the island in the bright blue of the Baltic Sea; the vibrant greens of the unspoilt nature; flower-filled fields; the traditional ochre paintwork of the half-timbered houses; herring-smoking; and the rocky cliffs of the North coast.
• Understand Mandy Stacey’s PhotoArt process that deconstructs landscapes into Colour Samples “redefining colour” – a slice of real life in all its 3D glory being so much better at representing that colour than a man-made colour chart.
• Read the little stories about each picture. Sometimes informative, sometimes inspiring, they’ll tell you where they were taken and why. Sent to you as a print-out with the poster.

FACTFILE:

• The Classic Colours Notebook Mug is an edit of Mandy Stacey’s PhotoArt Series “The Colours of Bornholm: In All Four Seasons” which is on display in her Gallery “THE HOUSE OF MANY COLOURS” in Allinge.
• It is taken from the Colour Palettes for each season, part of the 12-part Series, where the famous Bornholm artist Oluf Høst (1884-1966) plays an inspirational role in the artworks, with their parallel colour palettes for each season.
• This is what she has to say about the original exhibition artwork:

“I fell in love with Bornholm in the summer of 2022. It was easy. The vibrant colours, the breath-taking beauty of the nature, the ageless charm of the place. And then I discovered the famous artist Oluf Høst’s paintings of Bornholm, capturing the same scenes in the same bright colours, and it inspired me to create a PhotoArt series celebrating the colours of Bornholm in all four seasons.”

• Her interest in Oluf Høst was rewarded with an exhibition in The Oluf Høst Museum in 2023 using her PhotoArt to tell the fascinating story of the artist’s son Ole W. Høst who tragically died in WW2.
• Mandy Stacey is an English artist now living in Sandvig with her Danish husband and business partner Curt Stavis. As well as creating her PhotoArt, they both have a company Bornholm365 to develop business and tourism on the island all year round.
