Artist Kajsa Sjodin

"It is hard to really explain the many reasons why one, me in this case, have a desire and seemingly spiritual practice in making images that speak from my heart and mind, and deliver a message that moves the viewer.

This is what, on a good day, comes through me like a warm wave. Everything is possible!

Art is this thing.

Born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, I have since traveled far, to make this thing my life.
I have always loved to draw, paint and create, since I was a child, surrounded by my creative family.
I have lived and studied in places like Boston, MA, New York City, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Tulsa, OK .

From these and other places on earth I have gathered a multi cultural awareness and what inspires me are things like nature, figures, emotional chaos, faces, relationships, outer space and my children.

I work on paper and canvas using watercolors, pencils, pens, acrylics, charcoal & inks and whatever else is laying around.

I like to work on several pieces at once, going in between, to create new layers, movements and thoughts.

As for right now, I live and work on the very southeast tip of Sweden, where I exhibit my art in a family run gallery, Gallery No11.”

My vision of the future is to create a smaller world, making it possible to be working and showing in all the places I call home!

I’ve shown in a variety of places, countries and commercial advertising, and my works of art are featured in private collections and public spaces, like the Los Angeles Metro system including stations, trains, buses and various other locations to be enjoyed by tens of thousands of transit customers.

I am still super thrilled to be a part of this!
