In 2004, Sarah spent a pivotal year at The Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina where she was introduced to a world of jewelry in which style and tradition were elements to be discussed and explored. Inspired, she attended the State University of New York at New Paltz, earning her Masters of Fine Art in Metal in 2008.
A unique aesthetic is apparent in Sarah’s jewelry, exploring the transition from two-dimensional drawings to three-dimensional sculptural forms. By freezing brushstrokes so that they appear as paper rather than metal, Sarah uses color, texture and form to tempt viewers closer for a more intimate consideration of her jewelry. For Salon, Sarah created five completely new pieces of jewelry. Incorporating electroformed elements into her necklaces and brooches, she is able to create volume within the work.
Sarah has participated in jewelry exhibitions throughout the US and Florence, Italy. Her work is currently represented by Gallery Loupe in Montclair, New Jersey, Galerie Marzee in Nijmenland, the Netherlands, and Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal, Canada, and was published in The Compendium Finale of Contemporary Jewellery 2008.
Sarah was also an artist in residence at the Museum of Art and Design in New York City in 2009 and 2010.
Sarah lives in Brooklyn, New York. She is a studio technician for the Jewelry Design department at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and makes jewelry in her studio.
