Sarah Jamison’s artwork has been focused on culture broadly, however, as of late 2025, she has felt compelled to produce work that pushes beyond colored pencil and addresses a specific, embodied conceptual practice.
Sarah is currently creating mixed media work that reflects, confronts, and dignifies the female experience, while exploring beauty (a word frequently used to determine the value of both women and art) not solely as an inherent quality, but as determined by intimacy and humanism. What does it mean to be a woman in society? What space does she inhabit? How is she depicted and perceived? How do we recognize and value womanhood? How do we encounter the female form or expressions of femininity? Who deserves recognition and power? These sociological questions underpin Sarah’s body of work. Using her own photography as a reference, Sarah’s drawings, paintings, and mixed media works research and document the feminine experience, turning it like a gem to recognize its facets.
