Biography

What happens when we take the time to look at things a little more closely? As a visual artist living on Vancouver Island, BC, Sarah considers herself fortunate to have an abundant supply of natural inspiration with which to explore that question. 

Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Sarah divided her childhood time between exploring the parks and fields around her home, and making art. She has always been fascinated with the intersection between human-made and natural structures and her post-secondary education followed those interests as she studied fine art, interior design and finally arrived at a degree in Environmental Design from the University of Manitoba.

After moving to Vancouver Island in 2011, Sarah began to revisit her art practice as a counterpoint to the analytical and highly structured aspects of her design career. Now a full-time artist, Sarah spends her studio time creating both functional pottery featuring her signature glazes and an ever-growing portfolio of sculptural work. When she’s not in her studio, Sarah loves to be spending time with her husband and two cats, or out soaking up nature and hiking, biking, running, camping, or kayaking.
