Virpi Marjomaa-Rajamäki
Rajamäenrouva
North Ostrobothnia, Siikalatva
I am originally from Siikalatva, and I moved back there about twenty years ago. My interest in culture and community activities was strengthened in my youth through amateur theatre, writing and village activities. I have experience in guiding various groups and individuals. I have strengthened my professional skills by continuing my studies as an adult. My interest in photography inspired me to study media. Nature and my living environment influence my well-being and creativity. I am inspired by landscapes, colours and details. Garden design, flowers and sharing experiences took shape on paper as the Garden Stories project.
