Aileen Hennes

Aileen Hennes was born and grew up in Bergen on the west coast of Norway; a town ‎surrounded by mountains and invaded by water from sea and sky alike. The three hundred and ‎something days of the year when it rained she spent in the library, or in the museums and art ‎galleries, slowly becoming what she is today, a painter and writer. She is also the founder of ‎NOAH for animal rights, now based in Oslo, after the Bergen headquarters were burnt to the ‎ground in 1993. As a result of this arson attack Aileen moved to France, where she is currently ‎living.‎
