about SARAH
My work is a celebration; an inspiring palette of color and a lively expression of faith. Some have known me as a painter, but my creativity has grown beyond the canvas extending into writing and speaking. As a creative, everything I do aims to share a colorful vision of the Christian faith.
I have created this “Garden” for you. It is a place to experience more than just my own creative work. When you visit The Garden, I hope you are inspired to see God’s creative hand in your own life. You are invited on an adventure with the Living God himself, and it is anything but boring!
The Garden is a place to grow and become all that you were designed to be. Growing Wild is what we do here. Like a field guide, this website carries content to inspire and support your walk with God in the wild. When we maintain a close proximity to The Gardener and remain in a posture of growth, our lives are bound for vivid views and sweet fruit, no matter our age. We’re never too old or young to grow wild with good purpose.
1989
As long as I can remember, I have enjoyed making stuff. As a teenager, I began studying art. In 2007, I graduated from Ole Miss with a Fine Arts degree (BFA) with an emphasis in painting. That year I moved back to my hometown, Mobile, AL, where I began working as a full time artist. My work has been displayed in various galleries throughout the country.
My husband, Robert, and I have three children, Lelia, Sonny and Josephine (“Fifi”) who continue to inspire me everyday.
I’ve been a dedicated artist for most of my life. While this is my job, art also serves as a retreat; a way of finding quiet clarity and peace. The quietness of creative work has allowed me to become aware of the spirituality of the faith. In a busy world full of agendas and pressures, creativity taught me that I could experience the Holy Presence of God, even on ordinary days living life in the wild. Today, I am passionate to share what I’ve discovered. There is so much freedom on the other side of fear. And there is so much purpose on the other side of surrender.
