This Swedish born artist teaches courses in creativity and painting based on inspirational Bauhaus methods in an ecological artist’s village, Skärkäll, near Gerlesborg. It is a unifying place for ecologically concerned people and those interested in learning more about aesthetics. Bengtson’s own work reflects her own life style choices, one with dedicated immersion in nature and its natural elements. Her experimental workplace concepts have already been studied in depth academically by the University of Gothenburg’s Art & Architectural Dept.

Birgitta was educated first as a house building engineer but then she went into the art and took a Bauhaus inspired methods class. This was followed by art studies in Malmö, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Paris.

"During the past 12 winters, I have spent my time in Morocco and painted. I live otherwise in Bohuslän since 16 years”.
