ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sarah B Hansen - Acrylic & Mixed Media
Sarah paints to express her connection to the natural world. Each piece has a story - a tap into the unplugged beauty of nature. She pushes and plays with shapes, color, and edges to suggest landscape elements. In leaving shapes undefined, she creates atmosphere, allowing mystery and imagination to dance at the edges. She also scripts words into the painted landscape. These words might be personal journal excerpts or phrases from long ago poets. All these elements combined leads to the understanding that everything is not known in the wild, and life is occurring beyond the human senses.

INSPIRATION FOR NEW WORKS
"Hope & Healing Through Nature"
While usually an avid hiker, birder and all around adventurer, Sarah has had to slow down over the last several months due to a surgery needed on her right hand - her painting hand. Now on the mend and back at the easel, she wanted to refocus on moving forward with hope and encouragement for the future. Most of the pieces in this series are painted from her imagination and memory as opposed to photo references normally taken while spending time out in nature. 

"...when we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect." - Aldo Leopold

INSPIRATION FOR MENU
Sarah's Artistic Journey
Julia Rickards, our owner and head chef, worked closely with Sarah to learn about her favorite foods, her most powerful influences, and her path towards becoming an artist. Within this collaboration came six beautifully curated courses that will be offered for the evening.
