JÓNA BERGDAL
Jóna Bergdal was born and raised in Eyjafjordur, north Iceland and now lives in Akureyri where she has her studio. She has always had a passion for drawing and painting. She graduated from Akureyri Art School in 2003 and in addition has attended many courses and lectures in Iceland and abroad. Her paintings are often inspired by Icelandic nature and landscapes, as well as local bird life.
Jóna has held almost 30 solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions both in Iceland and abroad (Italy, Wales, Spain and Finland). She uses several media especially acrylics and oil paint. In more recent years, watercolour has become the preferred painting medium. She enjoys experimenting with new techniques to further develop her art.
