From the Journal

Sarah Pauli is gentle and brilliant. She is the kind of creative you want to listen to closely, because you don’t want to miss the meaning inside the tenderness. She finds inspiration everywhere—across the universe, in nature and through all of life.

I met Sarah at the Sedona Yoga Festival years ago. She and her jewelry both sparkled in the sunlight as we passed her tent. Sarah gifted my daughter a stunning necklace, which she treasures to this day. As an artist, Sarah chooses and uses the “feels” of color like magical rasa. I wanted to ask her what gives her work its special kind of beauty.

Before the interview, I sent her a list of questions to initiate and orient our conversation. By the time we were together, those questions had already become further inspiration for her work.

Because she just can’t help it. She lives in a world of inspiration, creation and wonder.

“We’re meant to be here to experience beauty. It is actually vital. It’s life force… We all have a creative impulse. Creating beauty is a divine offering.” —Sarah Pauli
