Olofsdotter was born and raised in Sweden, and moved to the United States in 1981. Her artistic training includes sculpture, theatrical clowning and mask theater. She's also the author and illustrator of several picture books.

"I love the Minnesota State Fair," stated Olofsdotter in a press announcement. "I especially love how it reaches out to every community across the entire state. I am fortunate to have traveled all around Minnesota as a teaching artist, so like the fair, I feel a special connection to many different communities. My piece of commemorative art will be created for everyone in Minnesota and I can't wait to share it."

The commemorative artwork is typically unveiled in early June. The 2013 Minnesota State Fair will take place August 22 through September 2.
