After completing her school education on Amager, she took private drawing lessons to prepare for the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where she studied from 1941 to 1944 under Aksel Jørgensen and Vilhelm Lundstrøm.
Much of her own creative work was devoted to designing book covers and illustrations for magazines and pamphlets.
Her graphic publications include Græsk suite (1959), her prize-winning Byen her og nu (1980) and Jernbanehjul (1984).
Myhre's decorative work can be seen in Frederiksberg Town Hall and in DSB high-speed trains as well as in many museums and galleries.
