January 2024 Artist Member of the Month: Sarah Ciavarella of Irvine, California
Sarah’s artistic journey began in the small Northern Minnesota town of Bemidji, with her mother’s creative spirit as her guide. In college, although Initially enamored with oil painting, her path unexpectedly veered toward other areas including serigraphy and metalwork. After graduating with an art degree her journey stretched to a graphics department in Southern California, where she found balance between her creative pursuits and the fullness of family life. As her children embarked on their own paths, Sarah rediscovered her passion for painting, gleaning insights from seasoned artists, workshops and books. Her creations pay homage to the imperfect and the time-honored, each work thoughtfully acknowledging the storied existence of relics that connect us through shared history.
