Sarah Sedwick was born and raised in Cleveland, OH where her father was a member of the Cleveland Orchestra. She graduated with a BFA from The Maryland Institute, College of Art. After school, Sarah worked as a waitress and watered plants to make ends meet and took a break from art. In 2007, she moved to Oregon where she has her studio and runs an Online Art Mentorship Program and now divides her time with traveling to teach workshops on still life painting in oils. Sarah describes her style of oil painting still life and portraiture as Loose Realism—her paintings explore the undercurrents of meaning we impart to the objects around us. She sells between 50-100 paintings a year and her paintings are now signed with just her last name but as Sarah explains there was a time she would use only her initials so as to hide her gender. Sarah is the author of Dynamic Still Life for Artists, published in November 2022.
