About the artist

Hi, my name is Elisabeth Svendby and I am a painter living and working in Oslo, Norway.

My current passion is painting figures and portraits. After a year of sketching, ending with the December exhibition at Dugg, Oslo, I took to oil paints.

Right now I am working on both commissions and personal work within portraiture.
