Ulla Hehenberger

Ulla Hehenberger has lived in Westport since 1996. She was fortunate to move into the house next to Arlene Skutch, the beloved founder of the Pink House Painters. After Arlene’s passing she continued painting in Leona Frank’s group. She prefers to paint with oil colors and is now working out of a dedicated art studio, her “Holk”, located in a wooded section of her property.

Ulla was born in Sandviken, North of Stockholm, Sweden, and received her College education at Uppsala University and at the Sorbonne in Paris. She earned a degree in French, complemented with studies of Egyptology, Greek and Roman History, and Esthetics. She has traveled extensively and visited most major art museums in France, Italy, Spain, central and Northern Europe, Chicago, Boston, and New York.

She moved around quite a bit before settling in Westport, having lived in Gainesville, Florida, Stockholm, Paris (altogether 5 years), and San Jose, California.

In addition to her dedication to art, Ulla has also taken classes at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris to work on her gourmet cooking skills. She has further studied and practiced the craft of traditional French upholstery.

Ulla and her husband Michael, a quantum scientist and retired IBM’er, have three daughters and five grandchildren. Karin, the oldest, earned MD and PhD degrees at Karolinska medical school in Stockholm. She started “Lyfebulb” and lives in Westport with her daughter Liv. Lisa lives in Barcelona, Spain, and is the Dean of ESADE business school. Her daughter Ingrid is enrolled at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and her son Octavio attends the International Europa High School in Sant Cugat. Anna, the youngest, lives in Charlotte, NC, where she represents the Mecklenburg County School District as Deputy General Counsel. Her sons Willie and Freddie are still in pre-school.
