As a self-taught, lifelong maker of things, she has always been creative, but it was a puppet show which first sparked her interest in paper mache. The experience kick-started her career as an artist and has since taught children and adults alike how to express themselves through paper mache.
Sarah currently hosts paper mache workshops at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond and the Virginia Museum, of Fine Arts. Her work has been exhibited at several galleries, and she recently published a book with publishing group Quarto Creates in which she shares her step-by-step guide to using paper mache to create sculptures with personality.
