About Liv Nergaard

Lived 1924 – 2016 (aged 92). Liv Nergaard was a Norwegian painter, sculptor and textile artist.

Liv Nergaard (April 17, 1924 – July 25, 2016) was a Norwegian painter, textile artist, and sculptor. She also created portraits and produced puppet performances for educational use. During these years, she worked actively as a sculptor; among other things, she participated twice in the Autumn Exhibition (, in 1970 and 1976) and six times in the Southern Norway Exhibition (, between 1969 and 1981). She was active in the Arendal Puppet Theater and, together with Ute de Lange Nilsen and others, was one of the initiators behind setting up the theater in 1969.

Liv Nergaard participated in the artists' colony that developed in Flosta after the Second World War. Together with artists such as Ferdinand Finne, Ellen Iden, Ivar Jerven, Kjerstin Øvrelid, Knut Monrad, Finn Strømsted, Bodil Cappelen, and Finn Henrik Bodvin, an artistic environment was created that drew inspiration from nature and the skerries. In the mid-1960s, six of these artists exhibited at the Skien Art Association as the Flosta Artists .
