Måna Lagerholm was born on the southeast coast of Sweden and lived there until 1968, when she moved with her husband to his native England. She enrolled in an art program at Falmouth College of Art in Cornwall, where she worked in a variety of media but eventually settled on painting. After earning her degree, Lagerholm returned to Sweden to an artists’ community along the northern coast. Her paintings feature broad areas of vibrant color, as well as recurring human and animal characters.
