| about the artist |
artist bio
As a free spirited, self-taught artist, Sarah Zamora spent years exploring her
passion for painting, creating custom art and murals, and teaching art to others.
She began showing work at local exhibitions and galleries casually in 2008, but
emerged onto the Dallas-Fort Worth art scene in 2010, participating in 25 group
exhibitions ranging from gallery shows, indie craft fairs, charity benefits, and public
art grants. The vibrant, bold style of her mixed media artwork leaves an
impression.
Like many artists, Sarah has had a passion for the arts from a very young age. Her
early years focused on creative performance in theater and music, but an
obsession for painting was fueled in 2003, and she has not put down a paintbrush
since. Sarah’s mixed media artwork draws from a sense of imagination and
exploration found within herself, and her work has sprung from the process of
discovery.
She is a Christian, a dedicated wife and passionate mother residing in N. Fort
Worth, Texas. You will find her work in various galleries, exclusive boutiques, art
festivals and handmade indie art shows throughout the metroplex and beyond;
check the events page for upcoming events, as well as previous exhibitions and
publications.
artist statement
As a self-taught artist I rely on instincts, emotions, and whims to guide my work, and
therefore my inspiration is a combination of an active imagination, zany personality,
and a bit of manic energy. The curiosity of new processes through personal
experimentation is a driving factor in my work; I constantly play with a variety of both
media and subjects, discovering new techniques and figuring things out along the
way.
While I do paint some pieces in a more straightforward method using only
acrylics, I’ve created a unique method for mixed media that defines my style. My
current work is in this combination of acrylics, various inks, mica pigments,
watercolors, spray paint, found papers and objects, and upcycled ephemera. Each
piece uses layers of textures and paints to highlight or disguise text, common
images and items, creating a sense of discovery for the viewer. I want the intrigue
of my work to last beyond the initial impression, for those engaged with the piece to
see more and more hidden within the piece they closer they get to it.
The tone of my work has been described as positive, universal, contemporary,
thoughtful, funky, edgy, colorful, and sometimes whimsical. The body of my work at
this time is split between various themes and color stories, representing multiple
sides of my life: civilized, muted suburbia, bold, vibrant urban stylized pieces, as well
as art that deals with the raw emotions of life, including my diagnosis of bi-polar.
Please feel free to contact me for more information.
