Maria Prøis Rønneberg
Drammen
Maria Prøis Rønneberg (b. 1975, Ålesund, Norway) holds a Master’s degree in Visual Communication from the Bergen Academy of Art and Design, following two years of study at the Art School in Ålesund. Alongside operating her independent design practice, NEO Studio, she consistently develops her own fine art projects, working across collage, drawing, and photography. Her artistic practice recently gained international recognition when three of her mixed media works were featured in Suboart Magazine (November 2025). Driven by a lifelong passion for books, Maria utilizes the zine and artist’s book format to immerse herself deeply in the craft of book design, exploring the book as both a visual, narrative, and tactile medium.

Publications
Røyksopp (2026)
ISBN–poetry zine
Røyksopp is a limited-edition artist’s book and poetry zine created through a close collaboration between graphic designer and illustrator Maria Prøis Rønneberg (MA from KHiB, with 24 years of professional experience) and author, literary scholar, and librarian Anette Prøis Fearnley.
The publication features a series of five poems written by Anette. Spanning 32 pages, Maria’s visual curation transforms the poetry into a deeply tactile experience. Each individual book is uniquely assembled using six different paper stocks of varying colors and textures(some of them are semi transparent, it was hard to catch this effect on camera), and meticulously hand-bound. Reflecting the intimate nature of the project, this first edition is limited to 20 numbered copies.
