Artist Bio or Résumé
Sara has been exhibiting in the arts community of greater Boston for over 25 years. She has also been involved in a variety of arts community groups helping to promote and raise awareness of the visual arts.

She served as President of United South End Artists and after her term remained an Advisor to the Board. In this capacity she wrote a grant to fund the website for United South End Artists and another grant to promote the USEA on a year around basis.

Sara served on the board of The Boston Open Studios Coalition a group that brought together all the Boston Open Studios art organizations to better promote Open Studios as a main cultural attraction in the city. Past memberships include: Brickbottom Artists Association, Cambridge Artists Association, Reclamation Artists, and LynnArts Inc. At LynnArts she served on the Gallery Curatorial Committee charged with reviewing proposals for exhibits as well as advising on juried shows for up coming exhibits. Sara was also invited back to her alma mater Mass Art to be a part of a panel discussion and to jury the All School Show. She was part of a review panel at Boston Center for the Arts charged with reviewing proposals for their visiting curators program.

After moving to Salem she was instrumental in conceiving the first Open Studios event and in the renewed interest in reviving the Salem Arts Association where she served as a member of the Board of Directors.
As co-director of Experimental Art Gallery and Studio she spent 3 seasons on Artists Row hosting many artists and wonderful exhibits while serving on the board of the Salem Cultural Council for two consecutive terms.

She curated two exhibits at SATV in 2014 and recently returned from an A.I.R. program in Paducah Kentucky. She currently maintains a studio at Porter Mills
