Modelling Haugen worked as a model in London, but soon rejected it as a "shallow scene". She was later a
fetish model and participated in
Cradle of Filth shows.
Music Haugen has cited her influences as the
Cocteau Twins,
Kate Bush, and
The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos. She released her first music as Aghast in 1995, then from 1996 to 2002 under the name Hagalaz' Runedance. From 2003 she worked under the name of Nebelhexë, releasing three further albums,
Writing Haugen began writing in 1995. She wrote film scripts, both horror and satire. Many of her social-critical comments were printed in alternative magazines and also in Norwegian
tabloids and magazines; she had a column titled "Seriously - The Things That Irritate Nebelhexë" in a Norwegian gothic magazine. In a 2012 interview, Haugen expressed frustration at some journalists's insistence with finding out and claiming to know the "correct" interpretation of her songs, and named particular cases of some journalists stating that her songs thematised "witches in the woods, nature, Nazism and environmental pollution", when she intended for the songs in question to "very clearly" be about "incest, a friend's suicide, child abuse and loneliness". == Personal life and death ==
