Jenny Söderlund

Born in 1972 and lives in Bankeryd just outside Jönköping.

Jenny combines her own creation with teaching painting, sketching and sculpture two days a week at Mullsjö Folkhögskola, where she also teaches on weekend and summer courses.

“I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember and it started in Grandma’s lap at home in the kitchen. Then the favorite motif was princesses and castles and now, just over forty years later, it is still the girl or woman who is at the center. 

After many years of devoting myself to acrylic painting, in recent years I have started to sculpting more and more, and in the last three years, from having been an acrylic painter for about 25 years, I have switched to painting in oil. Both clay and oil paint have given me new stimulating and welcoming challenges.”
