I am a Norwegian artist. Born in 1965.
I have in many ways worked for nature through the years, but feel I can reach the furthest through my artwork.
I settled some years ago in a beautiful area in nature, by a fiord in Norway rich on birdlife and toads! I have lent their faces to some of my artworks. In january I will though move to Denmark, to Fyn, by the sea. Where I look forward to new inspiration from nature once more.
I graduated from the National Art Academy in Oslo in 95. One of the years there I spent as an external student in Alaska and Vancouver Island. It was a blessing but an awakening seeing the contrasts between a rich, healthy nature in Alaska/Vancouver Island and the situation for wildlife so many other places, as well as in Norway, that has a beautiful nature, but sadly Norway is now killing off its predators because of farmers sending millions of sheeps ungarderd into nature each year blessed by the government.
I studied art also in the Beaux arts in Metz in france in 85-86
I have done solo exhibitions, natureprojects, installations in nature and participated in many collective exhibitions. Working with young artstudents with land-art a.o.
I have a.o. participated in an UN exhibit for biodiversity in Germany.
I am interested in many aspects of creation, and how life works. How we are all woven together.
I have mostly worked with pastels since 1990, and also do land art installations.
Being a part of Artists for conservation fullfill a wish to more of what I can to enhance respect for our fellow beings and all of creation.
I have also written a couple of books, an epic story, and a novel, in norwegian that has caring for nature as a topic. I walk by nature as it walks with me.
You can see more of my art for at my homepages at www.hildeagabrun.no under ART/KUNST section. On my IN NATURA naturepages I have more nature-related info, texts.

Support for Conservation:
I have worked for the environment and animals in different ways much of my grown up life. I was part of a group creating/founding the first pure animal rights organisation in Norway, NOAH-for animal rights, in 1989. Part of the board for some years and later the desk for Noahs`ark magazine. I have worked with direct action, debating in newspapers and other media.
The last 10 years I have especially worked with this area through exhibition like "Earth-mothers" that has been exhibited in Norway and In Assisi, Italy in Europe.Dedicated to all the life givers of this planet. And the exhibits "In Source" and "web of life".
On Artists for conservation I hope to support some of the organisations connected with afc, through artwork pledges
