Sarah was raised on a farm in Virginia. It was during this time she lived with ultimate freedom, simplicity and imagination. The barefoot years. These qualities are reflected in each of her creative endeavors. After a number of years on the farm, Sarah moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where she began to develop her talent as an artist. She attended Northeastern University, where she studied Art History, Architecture and Visual Arts. Sarah’s first artistic love was woodworking. So much so, her kitchen table was also her table saw. We will leave the details of this up to your imagination. In 2006, Sarah moved to Western North Carolina. Since this time, she has applied her artistic experience toward a new body of work; acrylic & beeswax painting. The spirit and tranquility of the mountains continues to inspire and infuse her works.
