Helsinki
After Vaasa and Turku, came the beautiful capital city Helsinki, full of interesting things to see. As arranged, we met printmaker Vappu Johansson, who had been a visiting artist at Vancouver's Malaspina Printmakers Society. She kindly gave us an interesting tour of the printmaking studios at the University of Art & Design Helsinki, as well as her own Arabia Printmakers studio next door.
Helsinki has numerous museums and galleries and the greatest is the very modern KIASMA Museum of Contemporary Art. I think my Canadian friends loved the city as much as I do!

Interesting to view your website and read about your comments on Finland. I used to do etchings with Malaspina P.M.S. and Dundarave Printworkshop. However, the travelling, parking and workshopfees changed me into a painter in my old age. I work nearly exclusively with the human figure and face. Greetings. Ingeborg

Ingeborg, thanks for writing! I think I recall you working at Capilano College many years ago, and have seen your lovely work in many print shows over the years. Best wishes! ml
