About the Artist
Sarah graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Arizona in Tucson.
She started her art career as a watercolorist, but now works primarily with acrylic on canvas.
Sarah enjoys painting the beauty of God's creation. Currently, she's attracted to light and how it creates a mood and carves out shapes in nature. Sarah paints landscapes predominantly but also botanicals and figures.
For many years, while Sarah homeschooled her children, she volunteered as a theatrical set designer. This offered her the opportunity to give back to her community while spending time learning and honing her craft.
Sarah appreciated the challenge of conceiving a concept and then watching it come to life on the stage. Now, she has returned to creating her own art from her own inspiration.

I am honored to have spent 11 years creating scenes which allowed audiences the ability to escape into the theatre world of fantasy, drama and music. Thanks for the opportunity to work along side talented parents and students!
