welcome
Ursula Margareta Skoglund
Was born in Gothenburg, Sweden
and
at
a
young
age
moved
to
the
Stockholm
area
where
she
went
to
school
at
Saltsjöbaden
and
later
studied
at
Stockholm
University.
She
always
had
good
marks
in
Art
so
her
mother
wanted
her
to
go
to
Fine
Arts
School.
Ursula
said:
“I
want
to
earn
money
now,
not
when
I’m
dead”
so
she
enrolled
instead
to
study
modern
languages.
During
her
studies
she
worked
part time as a bank employee.
In
1961
after
completing
her
studies,
Ursula
left
Sweden
and
spent
four
months
in
France
at
the
University
of
Lille
brushing
up
her
spoken
French.
She
then
went
working
at
the
Swedish
Consulate
in
Algiers,
in
the
middle
of
the
war
for
independence from France.

She
later
married
a
blond-haired,
blue-eyed
Frenchman
and
the
family
moved
to
Morocco.
Since
she
could
not
afford
to
buy
artwork
to
decorate
their
home
there,
she
decided
to
paint
her
own.
She
used
several
different
styles
so
that
people
would
not
guess
that
she
had
painted
them
all.
This
valuable
experience
rapidly
developed
her
techniques
and
helped
to
give
Ursula
a
distinctive style of her own.
Later
she
became
an
international
forwarder
in
Marseilles
where
she
had
her
own
company,
and
she
continued her painting as a lovely hobby.
Today,
having
retired,
she
spends
her
winters
painting
and her summers sailing in the Mediterranean.
