Sarah isn’t the kind of person who needs to make room for art in her life–she lives in it. When we were little, Sar was always up to some project or other requiring glue, tape, scissors, and whatever else she could find. I watched her grow from fantastic scribbles on construction paper to an accomplished artist. Her art is arresting because, I think, of family. She is tied to her family of four boys and an extended family that adores her: All these people inform her work. And it’s work that has an intrinsic buoyancy and lightness.

Sarah grew up in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just outside of Denver, Colorado. After graduating with her BFA in painting and drawing from Brigham Young University, she worked for J. Kirk Richards in Provo, Utah.  While mothering, she has connected with her local community in many ways–leading toddler art classes, teaching private art lessons, selling at local craft fairs (to name a few). Sarah lives with her husband and four sons in Houston, Texas.
