More sneak peeks!

Here is a little look into the piece I will be working on for COA this weekend! I will be painting live as I have time at the show!

She's looking at little spooky so far. I am going for geisha makeup again...so she will look otherworldly for awhile!

First layers of her hair. I am planning on making her a red head,but that has changed before... ;)

About Sara's Work

I paint watercolor, mixed media, and acrylic art.
My work is based on religious themes in a tradition that goes back thousands of years(i.e Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelanglo). I research symbolism, mostly Judeo-Christian, and incorporate these symbols into my paintings. Some pieces are more obviously religious in theme than others. I enjoy the way that symbols can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the viewer, but I do create my pieces with a specific theme in mind.
I like incorporating images from pop culture and juxtaposing traditional images with contemporary icons to comment on generational misunderstandings and reconciling the influences of the past with the trends of the present. The work of David Salle and Salvador Dali have influenced the structure of my work and the way I communicate in my paintings. I am also inspired by contemporary pop surrealists and street artists.
