Art can articulate our stories. Sara’s work challenges the idea that textiles are purely decorative. By stitching words into fabric, she turns her quilts into a form of storytelling that invites us to look and read. What messages can you weave into your artwork?
You don’t have to choose between form and function. Sara combines the craftsmanship of traditional quilting with the impact of graphic design and literary expression, resulting in art that’s both a physical object and a vehicle for ideas. What creative rules might you have outgrown?
Artistic expression is an evolving conversation with yourself. By blending text with textile, Sara proves that artistic growth isn’t about abandoning past skills, but integrating them in new, unexpected ways. How could your past experiences or skills find a new voice in your creative practice?
