Sara’s formative years were based in Colorado. At a young age Sara's older sister would introduce her to a range of Arts and 80's Music with visits to DAM, and days of watching MTV. Sara was significantly influenced by artists such as Sandy Skoglund's 1989 exhibition “Fox Games”, John DeAndrea's "Linda", and LTV’s flux of provocative programming.
Sara took piano lessons at the age of nine and discovered that she had an ear for music. At 11 Sara went to art camp where she studied sculpture, painting, beading and collage. In fith and sixth grade, Sara played middle C in the bell choir. She then experimented with the bass guitar in high school before discovering turntables and funky electronic music. Sara started collecting records and mixing as a hobby, but Sara's creative motivation would land her in Los Angeles.
Sara moved to LA in 1998 to study at Otis College of Art and Design where she received the Otis Portfolio Scholarship. Sara's majored was Sculpture/ New Genres with an interdisciplinary concentration within Environmental Design and Digital Media. The extensive program offered at Otis College of Art and Design not only gave her the technical ability to create objects and understand space, it also gave her an extreme historical, theoretical and conceptual understanding of art and design.
As an artist Sara is currently working towards elaborating on her interests surrounding her most recent body of painting and photographic works. The series documents "radioactive" situations, in which ones environment becomes subject to toxicity and pollution. You may view this series in Sara's gallery.
Sara recently curated UD's second 'Garden' fundraising event, SPROUT, and is working towards the third in the summer of 2006. Both exhibitions showcase UD artists and will be art auction fundraiser's to support the UD mission.
Sara is also co-founder of United Divas, where she is diligently working to promote and develop the group of growing artists into a non-profit establishment.
