Katarina Jönsson Söderberg will exhibit Between Heaven and Earth March 20 through June 14, 2009. Söderberg was born in Uppsala, Sweden. After attending The Art School of Stockholm, Söderberg was accepted to Nyckelviksskolan at Lidingö and Gerleborgsskolan in Stockholm. Between Heaven and Earth, depicting the strong variation between Söderberg’s pieces, demonstrates her work with watercolors, oil paintings, and collages. Söderberg uses calm and clean lines. With her harmonic color scales, Söderberg often depicts the ocean, stones, and nature using Sweden’s coastline as her inspiration as well as flowers and dance motives. The thread that binds her various pieces is the common color palette in which they are displayed. Exhibit will run through Sunday, June 14.
