Enni Id

Enni Id (30 January 1904 – 4 April 1992) was a Finnish self-taught painter. Her art is defined as naïve art.

Id only began painting at an older age after the death of her husband Edvard Id in 1966. The cabin is open for visitors during summertime.

Art exhibitions Id's works were first exhibited at the 1973 Helsinki Art Hall's exhibition of naive art.

Id only started to paint full-time after the second husband Edvard passed away. She was over 60 years at that point. The husband had not tolerated painting. Enni Id originally received her painting equipment as a gift from a family of teachers who spent summers in Padasjoki.

Enni Id lived her last years in the municipal nursing home. Even there she continued to paint. Id died of pneumonia on April 4, 1992, in Padasjoki.

Id was a colorful and eye-catching personality, almost a local celebrity. Some people resented her and considered her lewd personality.
