Rosemaling was brought to America by Norwegian immigrants in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This decorative folk art then became very popular after World War II and continues to be cherished in Norwegian- American communities. According to artist Christina Keune, rosemaling is no longer common in Norway. It was a popular but rather short-lived art form in mostly agricultural Norway from the early 1700s to the 1860s. Christina’s career has been dedicated to sharing this unique art form with anyone in- terested in Norway’s traditions. She demon- strates rosemaling at craft shows and ethnic festivals and has taught classes in the Wash- ington, D.C., area, Iowa, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. She has been to Norway ten times on work-study tours spon- sored by the Vesterheim Norwegian Ameri- can Museum in Decorah, Iowa. She has won numerous awards including the Gold Medal in Rosemaling from Vester- heim and the Crystal Award from Gammel- gården Museum in Scandia, Minnesota. Both museums have purchased her work for their collections.
