Rosemaling became a part of my life in 1983 with a Rogaland class taught by Gary Albrecht. It has been my privilege to study in Norway with Nils Ellingsgard, Ragnvald Frøysedal, Knut Andersen, Tore Christiansen, Borghild Nybråten, Turid Fatland, and Unni Marie Lien. and at Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum, Decorah, IA, with numerous instructors, amongst them Norwegian instructors Nils Ellingsgard, Kari Pettersen, Oskar Kjetså, Bergljot Lunde, Alfhild Tangen, Tanya Westhagen, Torunn Rød Farsund, and Turid Fatland; and American instructors Marlys Hammer, Judy Ritger, Addie Piddlekow, Trudy Peach, Gary Albrecht, and Eldrid Arntzen In 2001, I was awarded the Vesterheim Gold Medal for Rosemaling at the National Rosemaling Exhibition in Decorah as well as the Sons of Norway Rosemaling Cultural Specialist award. It is now my privilege to teach at Vesterheim as well as at Decorative Painter's, rosemaling, and Sons of Norway conventions and groups around the U.S. Having retired from the John Deere World headquarters in 2000, I now am a full-time rosemaler, instructor, competition judge, designer/publisher of pattern packets, and author. I have been blessed with my husband Larry of 45 years, with two wonderful adult children, Terry MacVey and Kim Sidwell-Frame, two grandchildren, and with a brother who makes beautiful heritage woodenware. Rosemaling has brought some wonderful experiences, friends and associates into my life's journey, for which I thank God. |
