About Sarah Spector

Sarah Spector is an artist living in the San Francisco Bay Area, and working in a variety of media.

For thirteen years, she produced an extensive body of abstracted
interiors, still lifes, portraits, nudes and landscapes. Since 1989,
she has painted non-objectively mainly in acrylic and mixed media on paper, recycled wood and canvas.

Sarah does exquisite, life-like portrait drawings that capture the sitter's essence. And she offers detailed intuitive readings and healings.

Sarah was raised outside of Washington, D.C. and has lived and worked in the Galilee, Israel; Paris and Corsica, France; and Los Angeles and Santa Cruz, California, USA. She attended college in Portland, Oregon; Boston, Massachusetts; and Nice, France. She earned a Masters Degree in painting at the American University in Washington, D.C.

She is an avid dancer, including contact improvisation. She sings bilingual pop and folk, and plays fiddle and guitar. Her desire is to support the greening of the planet, including permacultural settlements across the globe.

Review of Sarah's Work

"Sarah Spector's paintings depict not only her physical relationship to the world, but multiply occurring perceptions in the subtle realms. Hidden within her works is a pure mathematics, which is Source manifesting Itself through core, original patterns--like the most subtle cause of form in the "matrix"--the world of appearances.

Each painting is a poem about a fathomlessness that seems to break apart at its inception. There at the edge of time is Sarah's eye perceiving the first sun rays of the eternal, creating forms.

Many of her paintings have a circle in or near the center, depicting Soul in relationship to structures continuously being created and destroyed. Here, cosmic bodies dance in a sometimes tempestuous array, planets encircle the sun, and electrons spin around neutrons. Streams of geometric forms coalesce and break up simultaneously.

She makes pieces that, although sumptuous, also delve into the essential structures out of which the world is born. She combines the technical mastery of color with the spiritual wisdom of one who has experienced this cosmic birthing into a divine sea. Her keen intuition continues to deepen in her relationship with the process."

Artistic Influences - Saturday, August 09, 2003
I like paintings in which there is a dialogue between the innocence and aliveness of pure color with a structure as rigorous as architecture to contain/define the space. (full story)
