About the Artist

Welcome! My name is Sarah, and I am thrilled to share my art with you! I currently work as a high school art teacher in Northeast Ohio, where I get to share my passion for art with young people. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and pup, gardening, and (of course) painting.

In the past few years, I have been rediscovering my love of painting. I am inspired by nature and find that spending time outdoors provides endless subject matter for me to paint. I enjoy recreating fleeting moments of beauty, trying to capture the essence of them with expressive brushstrokes and color. Each painting is like a puzzle and I lose all sense of time, savoring every moment. My favorite part of the painting process is when the idea catches some magic along the way and I let go.

Thanks for stopping by!

flowers

 

Flowers often find their way into my paintings. I fell in love with growing flowers in my early twenties, planting a variety of annuals and perennials suited for cutting and as companions to the vegetables. Today, more than half of the garden is dedicated to my flowers and it is a delight to enjoy them year after year from spring to fall. I love to make bouquets and share them with others. My favorite varieties include zinnias, dahlias, cosmos, sunflowers, sweet peas, butterfly weed, bachelor buttons and peonies.
