Swedish artist, musician, painter, speech
and singing therapist and choirmaster Caroline af Ugglas finds relaxation at
her summer cottage in Åland. She gives her personal view of Åland as artist for
the My Åland stamp.
The My Åland stamp theme is a recurring
theme offering celebrities with a connection to Åland an opportunity to
illustrate their opinion of the Åland province and personal view of Åland. Lill
Lindfors, Mauno Koivisto, Mark Levengood, Björn Borg, Martti Ahtisaari, Åke
Lindman and Marcus Grönholm are all previous artists for this series of stamps.
In 2012, Caroline af Ugglas is in turn.
The stamp features a perch.
"To me, perch is the quintessence of
Åland. I hardly eat anything else when I'm in Åland. Or, well, I sometimes eat
pike, too. I even painted the stamp motif in Åland."
A stamp watch with Caroline af Ugglas'
stamp illustration will also be issued by Åland Post.
