Born in 1970, Sarah was raised in the Oklahoma countryside, inspired by her parents’ love of animals and nature. In 1995 she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Luxembourg became her home from 1997 through 2000 when her husband was transferred there for his work. During this period, her paintings, prints and engravings were featured in Espace Paragon Gallery, Gallery Konschthaus beim Engel, and Chapelle du Rham. She took advantage of the European location and visited museums in several different counties. The Dutch Masters had a huge influence on Sarah’s work. She enjoys working to capture their attention to detail and delicate glazing techniques. In 2004 Sarah entered her first National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Society (NOAPS) Best of America! show. As a result of her participation and accolades in the annual NOAPS Best of America! shows, she was recognized as a Master Signature Artist of NOAPS in 2006. She continues to be a major contributor to NOAPS and in 2015 was awarded Best of Show in their Master/Signature Artist Invitational. She is also a member of Oil Painters of America has been accepted into several of their shows. In 2014 Southwest Art Magazine highlighted her in an “Artist to Watch” article in their February issue and then again in 2019 October issue article, “Where Are They
Now”. Sarah’s work has been a valued part of private and public collections and in international venues, such as the Association Presse Papier de Trois-Rivieres in Quebec Canada, and in the Chongqing Municipal Museum in China. She is represented by Abend Gallery in Denver Colorado, Canyon Road Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, NM and by M.A. Doran in Tulsa Oklahoma.

Each entry is reviewed and scored by an independent jury panel. The Jurying panel will consist of a minimum of 5 NOAPS Master Artists or Signature Members. The panel selects paintings for the exhibit based on the quality and individual mastery of the medium.
IMPORTANT: Jurors in the panel make selections based on the image entered. Make sure the image depicts a true representation of the painting. Images that are not displayed right side up or without proper cropping (no frames or backgrounds) will not be juried. Jurors score the image only and do not see any information about the artist
