About Sara I’m originally from Michigan where I grew up on a Christmas tree farm. My parents were ardent naturalists and taught me to respect the land and its inhabitants. The distinct season changes allowed me to observe and draw a variety of wild and domestic animals and birds which are often reflected in my artworks. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t paint or draw. As a teenager, I studied at the Kalamazoo Art Institute. After high school, I majored in sculpture at the University of Michigan where I received my bachelor’s degree. Each year, I spend at least one week with renowned instructors to continue to hone my art skills. My quest for growth as an artist is never-ending. I have been a professional artist for more than fifteen years. I was a successful muralist and trompe l’oeil artist in the Chicago area. My work has been featured in San Francisco Magazine, Chicago Home & Garden, Romantic Homes Magazine and This Old House Journal. My studio is now near Palm Springs, CA. I paint in all media, primarily in oils, on smaller canvases. I also do work on commission: murals, portraits of children, pets, scenes from photos, etc. Here’s a list of my clients: Ms. Roberta Allen - Oak
