This exhibit is a deeply personal collection of photographs capturing the beauty of Sweden, primarily from Medelpad, where Karina Granbom grew up, and the Stockholm region, where she spends much of her time. Each year, she brings these images back with her to the U.S. as a way to stay connected to the country that shaped her. For Karina, preserving this bond is essential—it keeps her grounded. And, much to her children’s amusement (or dismay), she never misses a chance to share stories about Sweden with those she meets.


Photography has become her way of sharing not just places, but emotions. By enlarging and exhibiting her landscapes, she hopes to transport viewers to the moments that move her, allowing them to experience a piece of Sweden, whether they have been there or not.


Karina is a Swedish portrait photographer based outside Boston. She is an active member of SWEA Boston, the Swedish School of Boston, and SACCNE (Swedish American Chamber of Commerce New England). Every summer, she returns with her family to central Sweden, spending time in Sundsvall and Fränsta.


A few years ago, she and her brother became the latest caretakers of their family’s summer house, a historic farmhouse in Fränsta. As the 13th generation on that land, they feel both the pride and the responsibility of carrying on a legacy that stretches back centuries.


Through this exhibit, Karina invites you to see Sweden through her eyes—her heart, captured in every frame.


On display March 8th – through the end of April
