Her art serves as a portal to explore the intricacies of existence, often delving into the shadows that shape the human experience.

Drawing from her personal experiences and the vibrant tapestry of Louisiana and Central Mississippi, Sarah's art is imbued with a sense of place and culture. Her imagery reflects the rich landscapes, diverse histories, and unique stories that have shaped her perspective.
