Instructor biography: I immediately gravitated to the Viksdal style of Rosemaling after meeting Marit Eldal during the Vesterheim Folk Art Tour 2016. I have since traveled back to Norway several times and have studied with Marit Eldal on her farm. I am currently the Artist in Residence (2024) at Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum ending after I teach a 4 day class in Viksdalmaling in May 2026. History, symbolism, and tradition along with limited paint stroke selection makes Viksdal designing even more intriguing. I live in South Carolina far away from other Rosemalers, but on-Line classes from many great sources have provided new friendships while continuing my rosemaling adventure as a rosemaler and as a teacher.
