I build large-scale color field paintings using glitter. I appreciate glitter both for its vibrancy, and for its refusal to stick to the plan. This material requires the slow, methodical
 building of layers creating a dense, thick field.  Exploring a material that refuses to be entirely controlled creates unexpected moments of intensity and texture. The particular shimmer and vibrancy responds to the passage of light, as well as the path of the viewer.

Artist Bio

It started with a tree house, a thunderstorm, and Wonder Woman.

When the storm passed, 5-year-old Sarah was, at first, heartbroken to find her careful homage drenched.  But upon unfolding the page, she found the colors swirled and shifted, blended into a rainbow of abstraction.  

 

Thus began a a lifetime of methodical material experimentations including such mediums and processes as painting, drawing, pinhole photography, collage, sculpture, stone carving, woodworking, book making, and felting, Sarah continues to investigate the conceptual through the exploration of materiality.
