A still life oil painting captures a clear vase holding a single white rose and three red ones. A knife and a fallen petal rest beside the floral arrangement, adding a layer of intrigue to the scene. Artist Sara Sisun created this piece on gessoed watercolor paper, mounted on a wood panel.
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.

This still-life painting depicts two red roses in a vase. The rich hues of the flowers stand out against the transparent glass and subdued background. The simple impressionistic rendering of the elements imparts a sense of stillness to the composition.
About the Artist
Artist Carey Parks paints impressionist scenes of everyday life that imbue a sense of nostalgia reminiscent of a family album. By observing how her subjects navigate their way and relate to each other, Carey seizes the moment they are randomly connected, even so briefly. "My goal is to capture the character and personalities of the individuals in a scene, as well as the surroundings as a whole," shares Carey. Positive in her artistry, she completed her undergraduate degrees in Fine Art and Zoology from UC Santa Barbara, then finished with a Master's in Art. When producing her paintings, she frequently mixes paint directly on the canvas to create intriguing color palettes. She carries out her creativity in her home studio, an organized space that helps her minimize any distractions. Carey also teaches as an adjunct professor of art during the school year. She enjoys running, hiking, and relaxing at the beach during her free time. Her esteemed work has been profiled in American Artist Magazine and numerous local publications.
