The artist Kristin Sarstedt was born on the Swedish east coast in Gävle in 1984, and has a heritage from the deep forests of Hälsingland. She spent a significant part of her upbringing on the family farm Sares in Hälsingland and the surrounding wilderness, which has inspired her artistic and creative side from an early age. Although spending many years abroad, including Vienna, Dublin and New York, the Swedish nature was never too far away, and still has a strong presence in her artwork today. She returned to Stockholm in 2016, and is now more active in her artistry than ever.
