Where the Camera Takes Her

Sports photography is one of Sara's strongest interests, particularly tennis, curling, and wrestling — sports that don't always get the visual attention they deserve. She photographs them with real interest and a sharp sense of timing, looking for the moment that actually says something rather than just freezing motion.

Her lifestyle photography takes that same attentiveness somewhere quieter: the everyday moments that are easy to walk past if you're not paying attention. She treats them with the same seriousness she'd bring to any gallery piece.

Where the Canvas Takes Her

On the painting side, Sara's abstract work explores color, form, and feeling without trying to resolve into anything tidy — that openness is part of the point. Illustration is the more precise counterpart to that: work that says something specific and says it clearly. Between the two, her practice covers a lot of ground without ever feeling scattered.

Beyond Her Own Work

Sara doesn't see art as something that happens in isolation. She's involved in curation and gallery work, and she teaches creative education, passing on what years of practice have taught her. Her creative interests reach past the visual too — poetry, music, and dance all shape how she sees and how she works.
