Sarah Pauline was born in a small town in Northern Minnesota. Early childhood was spent collecting bugs in grandma’s canning jars, making mud pies, and collecting rocks, moss, sticks and fungi in the evergreen forests near home. The gift of a spotted pony at age 9 was a turning point, and Sarah has been hopelessly in love with equines ever since. An avid rider, Sarah competed locally and occasionally nationally and ultimately attended a BHS certified riding school on the moors of Cornwall, England.

Sarah is the mother of a mischievous, spirited boy and shares her St. Paul home with 14 birds, 2 cats, a gecko, a toad, and some fish……….oh my!

Sarah has been entranced by fantasy imagery and literature since early childhood. All her artwork is, basically, about creating a sense of magic, personal themes and escapes from the day to day. Stylistically Sarah’s art is best described as "imaginative and playful.” Common themes in her work are the investigation of 'truth' and what that represents and how it is also illusion. In other words, is the physical representation very often a true representation of what something is? Is something beautiful because of how it looks? “I like the idea of finding the playful child inside us and embracing happiness where we can find it,” notes Sarah. How do we define 'magic'? Isn't something real because it exists, even if only in our dreams? After all, we can fly off to wonderland on the wings of any obliging fairy!
