Britta Jønsson

Britta Jønsson er født i Hobro og opvokset i Fredericia. Tekstiler og håndværk var med hele vejen - hun kunne strikke strømper, før hun kom i skole. Hun blev litograf, men faget døde. Livet tog en ny drejning, der kom to børn til, og hun blev håndarbejdslærer med speciale i broderi, skind og billedkunst. Underviste på SFO og arbejdede kreativt med ungerne. Selv udbyggede hun løbende sine uddannelser med tegning på Thorvaldsens Museum v/ Henrik Leach Hansen samt et bredt udvalg af kreative kurser. Altid nysgerrig på nye teknikker, altid åben for at lære nyt.
I dag er tiden hendes egen og symaskinen en naturlig forlængelse af hende selv. Hun kan frit boltre sig i sin fascination af mange forskellige motiver.
Britta Jønssons solide uddannelsesmæssige fundament og mangeårige erfaring indenfor feltet viser sig i dag i bl.a. hendes enestående og udtryksfulde portrætter af mennesker, vi alle kender.

Britta Jønsson was born in Hobro and raised in Fredericia. Textiles and crafts were with her all the way - she could knit socks before she went to school. She became a lithographer, but the profession died. Life took a new turn, two children were born, and she became a needlework teacher specializing in embroidery, leather and visual arts. Worked creatively with children.
She herself continuously expanded her education with drawing at Thorvaldsens Museum by Henrik Leach Hansen as well as a wide range of creative courses. Always curious about new techniques, always open to learning new things.
Today, time is her own and the sewing machine is a natural extension of herself. She can freely indulge in her fascination with many different motifs.
Britta Jønsson's solid educational foundation and many years of experience in the field are evident today in, among other things, her unique and expressive portraits of people we all know.
