During the art tour in Österlen, we have three exhibitors at Sköllengården.
We have Jenny Lind with her beautiful watercolors, Tina Thornberg with her inspiring photography from Österlen and Wiktor Öhman.
We also serve coffee and pastries in our lounge during Good Friday & Easter Eve.
Follow me on my walk in our beautiful nature and let yourself be amazed by its magic. My name is Tina Thornberg and I live permanently here in Österlen, more specifically in Baskemölla and Gyllebo. My main life elixir is animals & nature and I spend time daily in nature where I get strength and inspiration. I am convinced that nature is man's best medicine and also without any side effects. My interest in photography has grown over the last few years and I think it is a great way to preserve and share the beauty that surrounds us.
In conjunction with my photo exhibition, I will be setting up a fundraiser at the Nature Conservation Society to help save our wild bees. 
Bees are vital to our food production and the entire ecosystem. But a third of our wild bee species are on the verge of extinction. Poisons, food shortages, changing landscapes and climate change are threatening our wild gardeners. This could have serious consequences for humanity and biodiversity. A third of the proceeds from the sale of my photos will therefore be put into this fundraiser to help save our wild bees. 
No one can do everything but everyone can do something.
"If nature had a voice, it would tell you that it doesn't need you, but that you need it.
In 2024 I will be showing my watercolors here at the fantastic Sköllengården. My hope is that my art will be a positive element in the beautiful environment and that it will provide opportunities for reflection.
ABOUT ME
My name is Jenny Lind, and I was born and raised here in Österlen.
In many of my paintings, I let chance determine the subject matter and I think the essence of my painting can be summarized with the following quote.
"You don't always have to have a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, let go and trust, and see where it takes you". (Unknown).
I have deliberately chosen not to name my paintings as I think it is of great importance that you as a viewer can add your own interpretation to the picture.
In conclusion, I wish with all my heart that my paintings will convey a sense of serenity and provide an opportunity for reflection for you as a viewer.
Images from near and far with a dash of fantasy in the mix. Airships, Skånelänges and flying fish alongside costumes inspired by movies, video games and other popular culture. All in one eclectic collection.
