About
My life as an artist is divided into two very different and yet highly related sides, as a sculptor/painter, and as a commercial interior designer. The fields are mutually beneficial and enriching... my Interiors work has a very sculptural aspect, and my art is enhanced by years of thought about color, material and texture. In recent years I have become particularly enamored with encaustic (hot wax) for the inherent sculptural and expressive qualities of the material, in particular the skin-like tactility of the surface, whether smooth, pitted, scarred or molded, and the soft glowing translucency of the built-up layers.
Bio
Sarah Springer is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Massachusetts and Maine. Her practice spans sculpture, encaustic painting, and mixed media, with a sustained focus on texture, materiality, and three-dimensional form — concerns that carry equally into her award-winning interior architectural work.
Her art investigates the structures that shape human experience: the weight of societal expectations, the language of maps and territories, mythology and ancient cultures, and the intricate systems found in the natural world. . Her work has been presented in group, solo, and museum exhibitions and is held in private and corporate collections across the United States.
She holds a BFA from Cornell University, with additional studies in Firenze and Certaldo, Italy.
