Asa Heidur Runarsdottir

While sheep are indeed omnipresent in the Icelandic landscape, they have also gained, along with puffins and the Northern Lights, the status of stars of the derivative products offered to tourists.

My reluctance to fall into this commonplace melted away in the face of Ása's watercolors, their humor and the power of their colors.

A graduate in art education from Reykjavik University of the Arts, Ása is also a gallery owner in Reykjavik with her husband Birgir.
