Sara Scribner

“Both flowers and animals have been used in symbolism by many different cultures. Translating these stories and making them my own is where my creativity thrives.”

Sara completed her BVA in painting from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. Following her graduation, she began her career as a professional visual artist. Her body of work consists of figurative portrait paintings, which are treated in a classical technique. The narrative of her images makes her paintings intriguing and offers the viewer a scope to interpret and create stories around them. Creating a possibility of dialogue, her works display a poised character often gazing at the viewer. The artist is fascinated by the depiction of flora and fauna in articulating mythic tales and folklore.
