Colourful art on Hornsberg beach

Yesterday we visited the art gallery MRoss Gallery located on Hornsberg beach in Stockholm, opposite the Pampas marina where we live. Our houseboat neighbour Mette Ross paints, exhibits and sells her colourful artwork here.

Mette does what she is passionate about

Mette has been painting all her life, but it used to be just a hobby that she pursued for its own sake. During the day, her life was hectic with sales jobs. When several relatives became seriously ill at the same time, Mette began to think about what is important in life and when she had her daughter Malou, she took a big step: she decided to start painting full-time.

The houseboat in the Pampas marina was converted into a studio and today her husband Peter told us that living in the middle of a painting workshop was not always easy. When he came home and found red paint stains all over the kitchen, he knew that... "well, today a red painting has been painted". Two years ago, Mette acquired the studio and gallery on Hornsberg beach, and now she has the perfect location to both paint and exhibit her paintings!

Colourful art

Mette loves colour - and gold, and it shows in her art! The artworks are colourful, full of emotion and contain all sorts of unexpected creative details. Inspiration can come from the sea, from a particular piece of clothing or from music. Several of Mette's exhibitions have actually been themed around song titles, such as "Knockin' on heaven's door" or "Another brick in the wall".

If you wish, you can also make special orders for paintings. Maybe you want a specific theme or colour scheme? Mette told me today that some customers are showing photos of their homes to help them decide what might suit them!

Right now Mette is also working on an exciting collaboration with a glass company. They photograph the paintings and imprint the motif in the glass - which can then be used for a shower wall, a partition in an office or really anything. If you are passing by Hornsberg beach one day, feel free to check out the gallery!
