Ingrid Solesvik, Norway – Biography
I am a full time artist based in Stavanger, Norway. My favorite techniques are watercolor and mixed media. Living on the western coast of Norway, my choice themes are often influenced by the nature around me, mountains, coastal area and maritime sceneries. Homepage: http://solesvik.com
