About
Johanna Sjödin
Johanna Sjödin (b. 1987) grew up in Häckeberga in southern Sweden - a place with few distractions, where she made a close companion of the pen from an early age.
At Spyken in Lund she completed upper secondary studies with a focus on music. In 2006, as her final school project, she organised her first art exhibition at Dalby Library. That same autumn she moved to the boarding school of Blekinge County Folk High School for a one-year art program, where she found her lasting love for oil paint, watercolour paper and stoneware clay.
For many years she worked as a professional artist in Malmö. In 2019 she found new ground in Leipzig, Germany. In Plagwitz she lives, works, and runs her studio, gallery and shop on Merseburgerstrasse.
