Rufus and Otto (the creative forces behind it all.)

Sarah has been drawing and painting since childhood. She attended Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, where she studied illustration, and the University of New Hampshire in Durham, from which she received a BA in Studio Art, with a concentration in Lithography.

Sarah works out of her in-home studio on Westport Island in Maine. Her subjects vary greatly from boats, shoreline scenes and seascapes, to imaginary landscapes, to children's illustrations. Through her business as an freelance boat varnisher, she spends most of her time on the water. This provides her with much of the material for her paintings and sketches. She is inspired by nature, imagination and dreams.  

She works in a variety of media – lithography, pen and ink, watercolor, and oils and soft pastel. Her work has shown at the River Tree Arts Center in Kennebunk, the Chocolate Church in Bath, as well as in local shops in Midcoast Maine. She participated in the Painterly Day and Art Auction at Laudholm Farms in Wells, Maine. Her work hangs in private collections in Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts. She is a member of the Round Top Center for the Arts, where she is active in the print program, as well as The Chocolate Church Arts Center, The Pastel Painters of Maine and the Westport Island Artist Alliance.

Sarah is currently studying to be a Licenced Massage Therapist and Shiatsu Practitioner at the Downeast School of Massage in Waldoboro, Maine. She hopes to combine her love of art with her interest in holistic health and body work to find creative ways to help others, especially the elderly or disabled, become happy and healthy through creative and body based therapies.  

When she is not painting pictures, studying, or varnishing boats, she can be found writing, gardening, bicycling, volunteering, boating, sailing, or walking in the woods with her dogs, Rufus and Otto.
