Mea (Rebecka) Lindeberg, born Grenander, was the daughter of a provincial doctor in Vara in Västergötland. After basic education in Sweden, she went to Paris to study language. In the French capital, a desire was probably raised to try his way on the artist’s court. She sought out Professor Axel Jungstedt who taught painting in Stockholm.

It is also known that she has taken lessons for Elisabeth Keyser. In 1895 Mea Grenander married Herder Lindeberg, a town engineer, in Vänersborg. The couple moved to Uddevalla after a few years. Mea tried to keep the painting alive while raising the three children.

In Bohusläningen in October 1924, she advertised that she received pupils in drawing and painting. “Mrs Mea Lindeberg’s School of Artists” his son Alf had written on a poster in the studio. Her most active periods just fell in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1930, she received from Uddevalla city a large order to paint portraits on the city’s ruling men. In addition to the artistry, the music played a major role in Mea’s life.

She was happy to play the piano. Excerpt from the Internet “My grandmother Mea Lindeberg, the painter in Uddevalla,” Brita Nenne Kihlborg. Insorted in appendix screen under UM1230. Recommendation in e-mail from Nenne Brita Kihlborg, Stockholm, April 2009: "Mea is called Mea (possibly with Rebecka in brackets). Her baptismal name was not mentioned, she did not like the flowers rudbeckior because they reminded her of the name." Read more about Mea Lindeberg at www.bohusgillet.se/Lindeberg.htm
