Elling Reitan is a famous contemporary Norwegian artist who has broad interests beyond art. He plays guitar (look for him on YouTube). He majored in literature and philosophy in college. He was a high school teacher for 15 years. He has been a competitive skier, even participating in the Holmenkollen Ski Festival, and a ski coach. He is an avid golfer. Yet all along the way, from childhood, he has drawn and painted. His studies with Odd Nerdrum led him to turn to a full-time art career.
