About the Paintress
I am Trine Røssevold, an artist who lives, works and feed my artistic practice, on the wind swept west coast of Norway.
I paint. My paintings are influenced by traditional genres like still life and portrait, but without all the rules. I tend to work on larger projects where I challenge the concept of the painting as something that takes place within a frame.
The space surrounding the painting and its engangement with space, place, people and environment becomes the key. This has resulted in art projects/exhibitions in concrete underpassings, in shopping-centres, in the middle of a boxing-match, in a church, etc

I run an art school. As the principal of the vocational Art College Ytre kunstfagskole in Ålesund I am engaged in the the birth of new artists. I believe a person who wishes to create art should be given the best possible entrance to this important mission. My passion is especially strong for the artist role in the rural, offbeat, peripheral practices.
People everywhere deserve to be exposed to art.
