I didn't think I'd have the time to put something together in time for Skördefesten (The Harvest Festival) on my home island Öland but I thought I should give it a try anyway and see how it turns out so now I'll be showing a few pieces in my hometown Borgholm. Very spontaneous, I like that a lot. :D My friends have a lovely little shoe store on (the tiny) Main Street where my work will be shown over the weekend (thank you Britt and Göran!), so pop by if you're in the neighborhood. All the stores will be open past their usual hours and The Harvest Festival is a really nice event in general, one of my favourite times of the year. <3
The exhibition: "Invitation: Take a Walk Inside My Head - Portraits of Women"
Artist: Malin Wernersson
Place: Nyströms skoaffär, Storgatan, Borgholm, Öland.
From: Thursday September 29th
To: Sunday October 2nd
Also check out Artistbutiken's exhibition in Färjestaden (by the harbour) with the very lovely and inspiring ladies Elin (http://eeelins.blogspot.com), Ida and Anna!
About Me
- Disconnectica
- Borgholm, Öland, Sweden
- I'm Malin, a 26 year old freelance artist, illustrator and silly person in general. I'm currently aiming to finish my Bachelor's degree in Art History. My biggest passion in life is art and I work mostly in traditional mediums. In 2006 I studied Asian Art at Hawaii Pacific University, along with jewelry design and ceramics at Honolulu Academy of Arts. After that I went to art school in France at Paris American Academy and since 2008 I've been back in Sweden, studying Art History, design, literature etc. I've also been teaching acrylic painting at Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan in Kalmar for a few years as well as at SV in Borgholm. At the moment I'm living with my fiance in Belgium and we are eagerly planning to move to Sweden. I do commissions and a lot of the pieces shown in the gallery are for sale so don't hesitate to contact me about prices etc.
