RÓSA
TRAUSTADÓTTIR
Rósa Traustadóttir has a degree in librarianship and information science. She also is a qualified yoga teacher. She has been interested in visual art since high school and since then has attended many courses with both Icelandic and foreign artists.
Rósa learnt initially from her mother and subsequently attended adult courses at the Icelandic Art Academy and the Kópavogur School of Art. She has attended short courses arranged by the Icelandic Watercolour Society with Ann Larsson Dahlin, Lene Gemzöe, Karin Lykke Groth, Michael Solovyev and Alvaro Castagnet.
“Watercolours have always appealed to me in the way that they fuse with an idea which can then materialize but are nevertheless independent and need to flow freely on the paper. The journey with watercolour is like a marvellous meditation where I forget where I am.”
