ARTIST BIO

Sarah Pauline was born in a small town in Northern Minnesota. Early
childhood was spent collecting bugs in grandma’s canning jars,
making
mud pies, and collecting rocks, moss, sticks and fungi in the evergreen
forests near home. The gift of a spotted pony at age 9 was a turning
point,
and Sarah has been hopelessly in love with equines ever since. An avid
rider, Sarah competed locally and occasionally nationally and ultimately
attended a BHS certified riding school on the moors of Cornwall, England.
Sarah is the mother of a mischievous, spirited boy and shares her St.
Paul home with 14 birds, 2 cats, a gecko, a toad, and some fish……….oh
my!
Sarah has been entranced by fantasy imagery and literature since early
childhood. All her artwork is, basically, about creating a sense of
magic,
personal themes and escapes from the day to day. Stylistically Sarah’s
art is best described as "imaginative and playful.” Common
themes in her
work are the investigation of 'truth' and what that represents and how
it is
also illusion. In other words, is the physical representation very often
a true
representation of what something is? Is something beautiful because
of how
it looks? “I like the idea of finding the playful child inside
us and embracing
happiness where we can find it,” notes Sarah. How do we define
'magic'? Isn't
something real because it exists, even if only in our dreams? After
all, we can
fly off to wonderland on the wings of any obliging fairy!
