Eva Maria Mansnerus is one of the rare painters you will find in Scandanavia. She lives on the Island in Föglö. Her works are quite brillient and unquestionably brings a smile to your face.
On Tuesday, 5th November 2008 the immigrants on the Island, learning Swedsih at Medis, were invited to an exhibition of Eva Maria’s paintings. The event was held at the Åland museum and Eva herself was there to explain the stories behind her paintings. The immigrant language students, were amazed to realised that there are lot of oral stories of history that go with each of her paintings.
Throughout the Island , EvaMaria is known for her higly crafted drawings and paintings. Some of the students described her as a well talented painter, whose paintings have lot to tell.
During a classroom discussion, majority of the students disclosed that they found the exhibition very useful. The class was divided into groups to discuss more about the paintings, focusing more on what they have learnt about Eva Maria and her work.
PS: The painting ( photo ) attached with this story was done by Amanda Chanfreau, another popular painter on the Island.
