More on the artist, Tina Keune

Christina Keune is a heritage artist and historian of the traditional folk arts of Norway’s Rosemaling and Sweden's, Dalmålning. Interior walls and functional wooden objects in Norway were decorated with classical leaf and scroll forms using earth tone paints during the 18th and 19th centuries. Swedish folk art at this time, complemented its interiors with painted linen wall hangings often depicting bible stories. Her work follows the original techniques and designs or may employ modern rosemaling interpretations.
