Sarah received a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Fisk University and has taken a hiatus from the world of science to pursue her passion for creating art. Since making this decision, she has been exhibiting her work locally. Sarah is interested in expressive work exploring mood, emotion and the human condition. She is also delighted by and is influenced by realism, impressionism, pop art and fashion. Her child-like curiosity and introspection enable her to have a unique perspective when examining the subjects of home, healing, belonging and identity. She works out of her studio in Buffalo Grove, Illinois and is currently developing a new body of work, to be released in 2026 based on grief, healing and more.
