Growth & Decay - Original

Sara Landfors grew up in Gothenburg, Sweden, with an art-interested father who made it his mission as a parent to provide art supplies for his child. It’s no surprise then that making art—drawing, painting and photography—has been her favorite form of creative expression as far as she can remember. She spent all of her teenage years drawing with pencil and painting with watercolor. During high school and university, Sara combined engineering studies with formal art classes.
