Meet the Artist

Sarah-Willis-Original-Art-Central-Oregon-Scenes
Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Sarah is a 13 year old Pastellist, Acrylic Painter and Photographer who now resides in Central Oregon. Self taught for most of her early years, she recently began working studying with local artist Stefanie Crowe, who helped her discover and perfect her love for both acrylic painting and pastel art.

Following in her father’s footsteps, Sarah enjoys photographing local wildlife, nature scenes and taking photos for original pastel pet commission.  Sarah balances her photography and painting with a healthy appetite for many activities including all things CrossFit, trampolining, hiking, and camping.  Being homeschooled has allowed her the freedom to focus on her art, while providing the time to divide the day between being active, painting, working with her pastels and spending time with friends and family.

Sarah plans to continue improving her techniques, learning new skills and spending as much time creating art as she can, and if she could do all those while lifting a heavy barbell, she most likely would.
