MARIA BERGSTRÖM Sweden
Born in Östersund, now living on the small island , Alnö, on the east coast of Sweden. Ever since she was a child, Maria has painted, writing poetry and composing music. Some of her poetry have been published. Her first solo exhibition in 2008 at Gallery Remi, Östersund, was a success. Nearly all of her paintings were sold and the art criticer Leif Öhr described her work as “having reached the true art dimension, the one that can´t be created merely by paint and techniques” (Östersunds Posten May 2008.) Maria also was invited to the Jämtlands County Museum's artist society, to give a lecture about her art. She has on several occasions participated at the jury selected art group exhibitions of the Jämtlands County Museum, group exhibitions on galleries and public environments.
