Mie Olise Kjærgaard works in painting, occasionally sculptural objects, and installation. Graduating an MFA from Central St. Martins in London in 2008, Kjærgaard is interested in society as a construction and the role of the Woman as a Construction.

Kjærgaard works in painterly strokes and large scales. Painting since the age of 15, she has taken a long and curved journey – actually starting out working with women figuration with a feminist angle in her teens, a circle has been forming over the last years. 

Kjærgaard has exhibited at UMOCA – Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, MFAH – Museum of Fine Art Houston, MAAA – Museo de Arte Acarigua, Venezuela; Nikolaj Kunsthal (DK), SNYK – Skive New Museum of Art, (DK), Torrance Art Museum in LA; Himmerlands Kunstmuseum(DK); The Journal Gallery(NYC), Honor Fraser, LA (NYC) and Hans Alf Gallery in Copenhagen.
