Information about the artist / the group

I am Maire Ruotsalainen, a watercolor artist from Vaasa, I completed my art education at the University of Applied Arts in the open college from 1989 to 1991 and participated in numerous domestic and international art courses in Sweden, Denmark and France. I have worked as a watercolor artist for about 40 years, starting with my first exhibition in 1981. For the last 25 years or so, I have been working as a professional artist. My watercolor technique is based on the "wet-on-wet" technique. Walking in nature, hiking are for me research trips to nature. I make observations and record various small things in memory and on paper. Through my works, the viewer learns to discover the small miracles of nature and see them as great beauty.

Program during Konstrundan

At the events, I present watercolours "this is how I paint" and tell extensively about my sources of inspiration and working methods. In addition, I will talk about my artistic achievements and present my recent works. With the help of events, I can increase and deepen the awareness of watercolor art both in Vaasa and in the entire region
