Descended from performers in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, and legends of the old frontier. Sara’s great, great grandfather Sequah performed with Buffalo Bill Cody for crowds and sold a patented cure all “Prairie Flower” in blue glass bottles bearing his name. Her ancestry stretches to the eastern woodlands where her grandfathers were the literal inspiration for James Fenimore Coopers “Last of the Mohicans” tales, the very real exploits of her long hunter family and their fearlessness far beyond what was ever penned in his books.

Sara started painting as a child and has never stopped, self-taught, she paints daily and often till dawn in her one hundred year old cabin in the woods surrounded by family heirlooms of flintlock rifles and aging tintype photos. She attests that the characters in her family tree as well as an inherit passion for history and as the reason for her subject matter. The adventurer spirit passed down from her ancestors’ lives strong in her, and it’s not uncommon for her wanderlust to overtake her and find Sara traveling the back roads and ghost towns of the American West.

Sara has created artwork for a myriad of galleries and collectors from the Smithsonian, to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. She has created art for a number of well known brands from Gretsch Guitars to Guns N’ Roses, her work can be found in museums and many noted private collections.
