About The Artist

Hello, I am Sara!   I am a woman who has always loved to create.  I was drawing and painting since the moment my chubby little fingers could grip a crayon, just ask my parents.   As a child, everything was my canvas, from the walls of our home to the dirt in the yard.  I loved colors and patterns.  As I grew older nature became a place of solace for me, and it also became much of the inspiration for my art.   

I was around 14 or 15 years old when watercolor became my favorite medium, yet at first I was very strict with myself and always copied pictures of places and things.  Though many of these first paintings were deemed as good and pretty by family and friends, and by myself, over time I began to feel an itch for something more... the paintings needed to tell a story, or I wanted them to express the emotions and thoughts I had.   That was when I began to experiment with abstract painting.  For me, this was a liberating time.  I felt as though the complex feelings I had locked inside had a way of expressing themselves.  

Watercolor is a medium that many consider unforgiving and hard, yet it is also often the first kind of paint we introduce kids to.  This is interesting to me.   I have personally come to love its fluid and unpredictable nature.  Water is a life source, I don't need to fight it, but can rather work with it to create something of beauty or meaning.   

And now, over the past few years I have been finding other aspects to tell stories through my art.  I have so much inside that I am passionate about, from beauty and peace to climate change and conservation, from education and childrens play to places I love dearly.   I hope that my art can help people recognize the beauty in things as they are as well as think about how things could be.  In short, I want my art to make us think and feel.
