Jaeger’s artistic process always starts with an idea or a mood. This can be prompted by a landscape, but can also come from poetry, music or other sources.

–Dag Sveen, Art Historian

At the end of the process, these experiences have been transformed into reminiscences. However, the emerging work of art will also have its own becoming. This becoming has some striking features. Her pictures are characterized by movement and energy, but are at the same time subtle and restrained. Although some of her drawings have figurative elements, they always appear as dynamic and open-ended.

…

Some of her works are very minimalistic, such as the Isola-series from 2007 and Lemon (Wanderings, 2009). ‘Less is more’, the well-known slogan of the great functionalist architect Mies van der Rohe, is one that can equally describe many of Jaeger’s drawings. This simplicity goes hand in hand with the sensitivity they impart.
