Sara is a California native who was born in the southern part of the state and has lived and worked throughout the state ever since. She studied glass blowing at Santa Ana College, Palomar College, and San Francisco State. She received a Vocational Glass Blowing Certificate from Santa Ana College and a Bachelor of Studio Arts from Humboldt State with an emphasis in metal. She continues to work in glass, metal, ceramics, and sculpture with inspiration drawn from the ocean, plants, and our connectedness to both.
“My artwork is a collision of mediums that strives to harness
the transparency and constant motion of life. I seek to
mimic the layers found in nature’s elements through the
mediums of glass, metal, clay, and paint. This fluidity is evident through the light caressing a textured surface, or a vine cascading down a tree, or the constant wavering of the ocean that is so inviting. I love the shifting optics, potential danger, and the energizing, ever-exciting clash between surf and sand. When light and water come together, the reflection, refraction, and penetration of light rays sparks great inspiration in me.
My intent is to inspire people. If my art provokes a thought in the viewer that says, ‘If she can make something real from an idea, than so can I,’ than I have succeeded.”
