ABOUT SARAH BAPTIST​

            Sarah takes the urban landscape we see every day and transforms it into art, making the ordinary....extraordinary.   Painting in oils is what I love to do. I began painting en plein air(outdoors) in spring 2014. There is nothing like painting on the spot and capturing the essence and light of the scene around you. Urban landscapes are my favorite subject.

                "There is something unique about urban landscape...an energy, a rhythm, a vitality...and I feel that when I'm painting.
                   I hope to capture that in my plein air paintings and use that knowledge later when I am working in my studio."

       Born and raised in small-town USA (Clarion, PA) at the age of 13, I worked in a local summer-stock theater, fell in love with theater set design and proceeded to make a career of painting sets, backdrops, etc. from Maine to Wisconsin to New Hampshire; finally landing in Delaware and Philadelphia area.
       Fast forward 25 years. I found myself unexpectedly unemployed in December 2013. I’d often dreamed of living a more creative life. With the love and support of family and friends, I launched a new career. Creating ART full time. It often is not an easy path, but I have never looked back and feel blessed  most days.
​       I hope you enjoy my art work and will visit often. Please subscribe to my newsletter to keep posted on upcoming  and  behind the scenes news.
