In the News and New Class in April!

Article in April/May 2023 issue of Swedish Press "Kurbits Painting - Then and Now" by Kajsa Norman

Hej! I have exciting news! My art is going to be covered in next month's Swedish Press! Here's a link to the website this esteemed magazine, North America's only published Swedish monthly. Thank you so much to Kajsa Norman for interviewing me and to Lani A Shumway for the photo of me in the field. I'm particularly proud of my painting "The Empress" which is highlighted above. Check it out here, I used the old-fashioned "kurbits" swoops and swirls in a new way. It is for sale and costs $3,000.

Also News on the Class Front!! I am offering a second class on this Swedish Art Form at 14 Cedar Street in Amesbury MA. You can come three Wednesdays, and we will have fun making art. I do hope that you will come have fun with us, whether you are Swedish or not. Scandinavian folk art is fun and colorful. You can make it perfect or not, it's up to you. We will enjoy the downstairs space which is full of light and smells like coffee. 

I will teach you about the origin of "kurbits" (Swedish folk art with scroll like shapes) and how to incorporate it into your own art using stencils, or painting free hand. I meet  you where you are in your art practice whether you haven't picked up a brush in decades or are a practicing artist. The idea is to have fun making art together in a calm and pretty place. ~ Tina
