Sladjana Buhovac was born and raised in Sarajevo, former Yugoslavia. She showed her artistic talent at a young age. Although she wanted to become a fashion designer her abilities for three-dimensional art were recognized at the entrance exam for the art school. Rather than being accepted into the textile design program, she was accepted into sculpture.
Her studies continued at the University of Fine Arts in Belgrade, where she earned her BFA degree major in sculpture. After moving to Canada in 1997 she tried to continue with her art but gave up. And after more than 17 years she started sculpting again. As a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, she has participated in several juried exhibitions and won three awards for Best Sculpture.
