Sara is a self-taught artist based in South Georgia. She is inspired by nature and the nostalgia of growing up in the South. Sara attended Valdosta State University and has won awards for her artwork throughout the region. She is a member of Thomasville Center for the Arts’ regional THOM Collective and a member of the local Pines & Palms Artist Collective. In 2025, Sara placed first in the public art experience, "Stop and Smell the Roses!" with her fiber art rose vase. Her work has been featured in the award-winning THOM magazine, with a feature about the influence of taxidermy on art, and in 2025 in Southwest Georgia Living. The dirt roads and Red Clay of Thomas County inspire her, and she wonders how many of Thomasville's residents explore and enjoy them regularly. To Sara, they are like church. It's where she goes to recharge her soul. The wildlife, the plants growing on the steep banks and ditches, the colors, with so much green foliage and red clay. Dirt roads are healing to Sara -and so many others. Dirt roads are home.
