SARA SMITH

SARA SMITH

Sara's work is inspired by the intersection of human and wild… we desire to touch something that is unaltered and deeply rooted, and by doing so we change it and it changes us. We crave true wilderness and an experience of something far from pavement. These pieces have been created using a mix or modern and traditional techniques… spray paint, graffiti materials, sometimes building remnants and reclaimed materials… to depict images of the wild world with which we seek to connect.

SARAH MILLER

SARAH MILLER

Sarah Miller (Myers as a maiden) grew up in the Tahoe/Truckee area, and desires to grow old here. Her love for the community and the landscape shows no sign of decline. She derives much inspiration from the beautiful surroundings Nevada county has to offer, as is exemplified by her Frozen Fall series. She loves to work with her hands whether it be with clay, wood, paper or pixels. She enjoys all aspects of art, especially when a story is told. Sarah currently contracts to push pixels for Truckee’s independent newspaper Moonshine ink.

I love capturing the experience of being outside in the natural environment and radiating that ambiance and energy in a home. This encourages me to create rhythm and movement by weaving multiple paint layers in and out to suggest water rippling, light changing, shadows moving, temperatures warming and cooling, or the wind coming up and dying down. I can never reproduce the same painting just like If I go back another day to the same spot, it’s just never the same. A Boston native, skiing brought her to Tahoe in the mid 1990’s. She lives in Truckee.

Fascination with light, shadow, and color – inherited from three generations of artists - have taken many forms and paths throughout my life. The resulting mixed-media art echoes the journey of inner exploration, questions, and loving expression. Alarm for the natural world, my work is an offering - to the beauty and wonder I derive from the natural landscapes and the love that enriches life. If art can reach hearts and touch minds to make positive change - I can think of no greater success an artist could achieve.
