My story as an artist

My name is Marjan Dijkstra from Madlocalart. My studio is located close to the fjord, between the mountains, in the Norwegian region Sunnmøre. Worldwide known for the Jugenstil town of Ålesund and Unesco village Geiranger. My main inspiration is this surrounding landscape, its humans and my own backyard and permaculture garden. I am a graduate at Ytre Kunstfagskole Ålesund. My heart beats faster for printmaking techniques like woodcut, intaglio and especially mezzotint.
