Torsten Björkroth stipend 

11/29/2014

Today I've been granted the Thorsten Björkroth stipend. I got to know about it a couple of months ago and I haven't been aloud to say anything until this very day :) It felt so surreal getting the phone call about the stipend. You don't apply for it you just get picked! 

Can't describe how grateful I feel! <3 It really is a push to keep on creating and doing what I love doing. The ceremony took place at gallery Kvadraten today and I had the support from family and friends (thank you so much for coming!).

Thorsten Björkroth was a doctor with a great interest in art and music and after his death the stipend was set up in his memory. His family was managing the stipend until about year 2000, when the concert association and the art association in Kristinehamn took over the task.

A couple of days ago I was at the gallery hanging some of my own pieces, but I also got to help to hang the other exhibition they are showing right now. It was so much fun to measure, hammer, and fix with the lighting. The gallery is full of art pieces the association has bought throughout the year and next week they'll have their annual lottery for their members.
