BIOGRAPHY

Margrét Kröyer (m.kröyer) was born and raised in Akureyri, Northern Iceland. Her parents and grandparents strongly emphasized the arts and a creative lifestyle, with the result of Margrét starting to paint at very early age. Encouraged by her teachers and family, young Margrét continued painting throughout her school years to successfully earn a college diploma in Fine Arts and a Bachelor degree in Artistic Graphic Design. In early 2009, only about 1,000 years after the Icelandic captain Erik the Red and his Viking crew, Margrét discovered America, a continent full of great people and opportunities. Margrét paints with her heart and soul--“If my paintings evoke deep emotions in others, it is only because Iceland evokes those feelings in me.” // http://www.m-kroyer.com
