Marie-Louise Ester Maude Ekman, born Marie-Louise Ester Maude Fuchs on November 5, 1944, is a remarkably talented and versatile Swedish artist and educator, whose life and work have been marked by a series of significant events and transitions.
Initially, she was known as Marie-Louise De Geer, a name she adopted during her first marriage to Carl Johan De Geer, which took place in 1966 and lasted until 1971.
Following the dissolution of her marriage to De Geer, a significant life event that marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, she went on to marry Johan Bergenstråhle, a multifaceted individual with a background in both direction and writing, in the year 1971.
This union, which lasted for nearly a decade until 1980, was a pivotal period in her life, during which she adopted the surname De Geer Bergenstråhle, a testament to her commitment to her new partner and the blending of their two identities.
