Contemporary painter Sarah Lorentz [American, 1994 - present] creates energetic, striking compositions full of bold brushwork and electric color while tapping into the nostalgia of her 1990's childhood. Though the subject matter of her work ranges from evocative figurative commentaries to pastoral plein air landscapes, the physicality of material and deliberate remnants of the process reveal the same confident hand behind the brush. 

Sarah’s academic training has been traditional with apprenticeships under successful artists and extended studies abroad in Europe. She earned her Bachelor's of Fine Arts with a focus in studio painting from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and now has an active presence in the art scene of St Louis where she lives and works, regularly exhibiting nationally and internationally.
