Sarah Skiöld-Hanlin combines her diverse interests and skills to draw artwork with layered meanings, hidden imagery, and fine details. She says on her website, “I love to challenge myself both in the medium and subject matter. The unforgiving nature of pen and ink forces me to commit to the page. Attempting to capture sound, motion, and time in a static image breaks my brain a little every time I attempt it. And subjects like music, animals, storytelling, and society are endless wells of inspiration.”
