Bjørg Lødøen (born Oslo, December 7, 1931) is a Norwegian painter, graphics artist, and composer. [Translated from the Norwegian Interwiki sites] Her work is on display in several Norwegian and European museums, and can also be found in the U.S.

Lødøen studied painting at Statens kunstakademi under Professor Alexander Schultz. After graduation, she traveled and studied art throughout Europe. Her skill was recognized by a number of grants, including:
* State Academy of Fine Art grant 1960

With her solo exhibitions, and as a composer for Rolf Aamot’s movies for cinema and television, Bjørg Lødøen captures and visualizes the energy of our invisible reality.
