About the Artist
Artist Sara Sisun interprets timeless themes into contemporary compositions. Her works often explore subjects as memento mori, the female body, and historical motifs. “I believe strongly in the need for people to make and share images as a form of empathetic connection and continuity,†says Sara. Encouraged by her mother, who regularly took her to museums, Sara began her artistic journey at a young age. She fell in love with painting at age six after stepping into the Art Students League of Denver and feeling instantly at home. At twenty-one, she completed her MFA and furthered her studies in Art History, focusing on the Early Modern period. Based in Boulder, Colorado, Sara paints in a small studio in her bedroom, where she can hear a nearby creek outside her window. When not making art, Sara spends time reading, rock climbing, and teaching at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.
