"As long as I can remember I have loved to draw,
paint, sculpt, cut and create.
Collage is so much fun because there are endless
possibilities and less rules to follow; letting go
and trusting your own creativity is very freeing."

Maja Sommersted was born in Denmark, and as a child
lived in Africa and England before settling down in
Colorado.
With art materials made readily available by her
parents, and lots of visits to castles and museums
in Copenhagen and London she developed an early
appreciation for both the Old Masters as well as
Modern.
Maja studied art in College, received the
Bachelor degree in Art, and became certified
to teach. She is a member of the Western
Slope Center for the Arts, Artspace & Open
Studios, as well as the Rocky Mountain
Collage Society.
Her preferred mediums are oil, watercolor
and collage. Her work has won several awards
and is part of the East Morgan County
Library’s permanent collection.
