Kjellaug Nordsjö

[3] Kjellaug Nordsjö was born in 1926 in Vestfossen, Norway, to a farming family with five daughters, where she was the oldest.

After the war, Nordsjö began studying at an art school in Oslo, where she was accommodated by acquaintances of her family.

Later she was employed at the Norwegian Seamen's Church in Rotterdam, and at the same time she could continue studying at a local art school there.

One of them was the Nordsjö family, who settled near the Norwegian border in Bogen's vicarage in northern Gunnarskog.

Her husband took care of the household and finally Nordsjö was able to devote herself to icon painting full time.
