June EdvensonArt for Life
My background in art
My instruction began earnestly in the 1980's in Springfield, Illinois in a series of 'open studio' courses. I followed these with some years of workshops, in particular at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, a favorite destination. Later, living in Chicago permitted me to attend the School of the Art Institute.
In Norway, I am considered an 'outsider' because I do not have a 'terminal' degree in art from a Norwegian-based art school. Since I work with my art on a part-time basis, I reach out to practice my craft on my own, sharing it with those interested.
I continue to take opportunities for instruction and growth, including workshops in Florida and self-guided tours in Europe.
