ARTIST STATEMENT

Sarah creates paintings, mixed media, and digital art rooted in the Southwest. Her work invites viewers into vibrant spaces that encourage a roving eye. She tends to hang her hat on color, which she uses to generate unexpected juxtapositions. Working from life and from photographic references, she explores the often-prickly intersection of everyday objects and her urban/suburban surroundings. Some of her earlier still life work merged with collectively understood emblems like the peace sign. She’s also repurposed seemingly innocuous motifs – hammers, rabbits, and birds – to address darker themes of violence, aggression, and anxiety. Her current work represents human connection through figures that are merged or intertwined – with other people, with animals, and with fragments of themselves. These pieces are intended to investigate themes of separation, empathy, and companionship.
