About the Artist
Sarah's paintings reflect her upbringing in the midst of the Amish community in Lancaster County as well as impressions of people and landscapes from her time in the coal fields of West Virginia, and the coast of California. She studied draftsmanship and color theory with Myron Barnstone in Coplay PA during and after her high school years. From 2003 to 2007 she attended The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and studied Art History at the University of Pennsylvania. She was awarded an PAFA fellowship to travel in Europe in 2006. In Rome she completed a course on the chemistry of art materials and methods associated with the Vatican conservation laboratory. In Norway she studied with painter Odd Nerdrum. In the summer of 2008 Sarah was awarded a Mattisse Foundation Fellowship for residency at the renowned Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. She currently lives and works in Freiburg, Germany but visits the studio of her childhood, a barn loft in Lancaster, PA.
