Kit Kjølhede Laursen was born in 1969 on the west coast of Denmark, in a small town called Lemvig - aka the 'dimple' of the west coast due to its picturesque location. Since growing up in Lemvig, a mixture of studies, work and coincidences has brought her to Dublin, Boston, Paris, Montréal, Warsaw and Copenhagen, where she currently lives.

Kit holds a master degree in international business and languages (English and French). Having spent a total of seven years abroad, she now runs her own business in Denmark and works as a free-lance consultant for, among others, the Trade Council of Denmark (part of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs). She is also a writer (books, articles and more) and makes cartoons for Focus Denmark, a Ministry publication.

She has studied art with Else Ploug Isaksen at the Aarhus Academy of Art and not least with Bjørn Ignatius Øckenholt in Copenhagen.

Kit is a co-founder of the artist association Udgangspunkt and shares the art studio PRAG 61 with 17 other artists in Copenhagen.
