1/1: About Me

Sarah  (b. 1995, New York, NY) is a New York based artist and educator. Confronting themes of love, power, nature, language, history, time, and trauma, Sarah depicts a world of paradoxical tension—one that is surreal in its reconciliation of the beautiful and the abject. She integrates symbolic elements with fragmented body parts onto playful textures and landscapes. In her paintings, she employs impasto oil paint embedded with materials such as flowers, leaves, broken mirror, sparkling beads, candles, and wire onto canvas. She also works in markers, charcoal, watercolor, and sumie-ink. 

She has a B.A. from Wesleyan University in history and studio art. She is currently pursuing her M.A.T. in Art and Art Education. She has taught art and art history at the Museum of Food and Drink, The Bowne House Historic Society, and Prattsville Art Center and Residency.

She dabbles in some new media, such as digital photography, graphic design ( InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), and Scanning. She looks forward to learning more, especially 3d printing, laser cutting, virtual reality, and animation.
