Enamored with all things equine since her earliest memories, it was this fascination that drove Sarah into art. Primarily self-taught through years of research, field study, and discipline, her work has a distinctive style and unique perspective.
As such, her work has earned avid collectors around the world who appreciate her attention to detail, anatomical faithfulness, the immediacy of “the moment,” and all the personality, presence, and charisma of this quirky creature.
To realize her work, she specializes in the technically demanding art form of realism. The biological structure, influence of physics, nuances of behavior, and the evolutionary underpinnings of this animal offer intriguing revelations that enrich the creative journey and the artistic narrative. Even so, she also enjoys exploring the subject through stylized representations at times since the equine experience also lives and breaths deep on the visceral plane.
Most of all, however, Sarah is intrigued by the ardor and grace that dwells within each animal, perfect and complete. Each soul has a story to tell and she endeavors to celebrate that voice through the visual language of sculpture.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I seek to explore the inner life of an individual soul resonating within the living moment so that I may convey this gracious creature with sensitivity, insight, and kinship. The story from the animal’s point of view is what captivates me and compels my hands to shape the clay.
