About
For 98 years only boys were born in the Taylor family until Sarah broke tradition and entered the scene in the 1970's near Detroit, Michigan.
Sarah was co-chair of the Visual Arts Guild at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan where she graduated magna cum laude and earned a BFA in 1994.
She has been juried into over 20 shows and been a requested contributor for two invitational shows. She has won most recently a coveted Recognition Award from The Hawaii State Foundation for Culture and the Arts. Sarah also has work in the permanent collection of Calvin University and the Honolulu Museum.
Because of her interest in patina Sarah prefers working on wood panels with acrylic paint, collage, and other elements that can be distressed. She has an enduring desire to showcase the diverse and unique aspects of Hawaii where she lives as well as an interest in imaginative abstract work. She lives in Keaau on the Big island and spends her time painting, cultivating tropical trees, and herding one naughty cat.
