Sarah Kaufman – UPCOMING ARTIST
“My paintings are oil and acrylic on canvas. I create a deep texture on the canvas, and then seal that texture with colorful, loose glazes of acrylic. Once the painting is showing a lot of life (basically an energetic, lovely mess) I look at it and let it tell me what it is about. When I have an image in my mind, I begin painting using oil. I paint images that look at aspects of the human experience through the lens of surreal and ethereal narratives. I take a theme (such as finding balance and strength in uncomfortable situations) and give it a story (such as an elephant trying to walk on stilts). The emotion is the same, but the presentation is different, and I think that is what makes an impact with the people who enjoy my art.”
Sarah Kaufman has a Bachelor in Fine Art and a Master of Education, which informs her paintings from both the artistic and the story telling perspective. She has been painting professionally for over 20 years. She has work in corporate collections, museums, and private collections nationally and internationally. She lives and works in Nashville with her husband and children.

In my twenty years of photography experience, the subject matter of dogs and children has always touched my heart and inspired me the most. My brother Lee and I grew up with dogs and loved that part of our childhood. Having a dog-themed exhibition is personally touching to both of us. I’ve always been drawn to capturing their quirky behavior and precious faces. Using both film and digital, my love of B&W, and my custom handmade framing, the images I’ve selected for Every Dog Has Its Day are a reminder to me to remain a kid at heart. curated

I am someone who dreams about flowers,who finds love angelic and who wonders about everything. I am a person who feels that the most romantic of life’s moments can be found in the ordinary. I am interested in creating works of art as poetic as a classic song, yet make you want to sing. Beneath the glossy covering of these images you might find wallpaper, wax, paint chips, and scraps of just about any kind, as well as unique experiences, big hopes and simple thoughts.

“Subtlety is often overlooked in our culture, with the loudest or most complicated receiving the most attention. We collectively resist quiet and choose noise, and in doing so forego peace and contemplation, making it difficult to truly experience the lives we are living or to ask the questions necessary for growth. My work uses colors, texture, repeating elements, and simple compositions to tell stories and express emotions. My intention with these pieces is to create space in the midst of our busy lives and present the opportunity to experience peace and presence.”
