Description
Sarah Edwards now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, but grew up in Northern California where art played an important role in her life from a very young age. Animals, nature, and issues around the health of our global ecosystems are the foundational themes in her work. Her imagery explores the anesthetized natural figure as both monument and object; a revered and belittled antidote to modern life. Sarah's credentials include a BA in Fine Art from the University of California at Berkeley, training in conceptual design from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and a Fellowship in painting from Yale University. Sarah’s art practice evolved from her desire to create art that recognized and honored animals, nature, and issues around the health of our global ecosystems. Using small animal figurines as both inspiration and reference, Sarah grows these tiny animals into larger-than-life tributes. Her work acts as a reminder to the viewers that the animal she features, while strong and beautiful, are also precious and fragile.
