Artist Statement
Sarah is a self-taught artist who uses art as her hobby and escape. With the encouragement of friends and family, she decided to share her art with others even though it feels scary. Sarah loves trying new techniques and gets great joy from the gut feeling of knowing when a piece is finished. As the mom of two young girls, Sarah loves inspiring them to be creative and says, “They probably inspire me, even more, when we work on pieces together.”
