A weathered house, or a newly bloomed flower capture her eye and end up forever on the canvas and paper. She was born to missionary parents in Sierra Leone, West Africa where they encouraged hard work and persistence to achieve fine work. It has paid off as Sarah's work has been well received in many shows though out Indiana. She has won awards in the Hoosier Salon as early as 1992. She currently divides her time painting and teaching private lessons and classes in her home to children and adults alike. Life is like a painting in the artists studio growing more textured, defined and beautiful as time passes--no matter what the subject.
