Bio
Sara Wiens is an artist currently based in Salmon Arm who works in oil, acrylic and mixed media.  She has her BA in Studio Arts and a Bachelor of Arts Education from UBC, Vancouver. She has shown her work at various galleries in her home province of British Columbia, including at The Ferry Building (West Vancouver), Place Des Arts (Coquitlam), Gallery Vertigo (Vernon), and the Salmon Arm Arts Centre.  Sara has taught art for many years in the private and public school system.  Her contributions to art in her community include a public mural project in the summer of 2020. 

Artist Statement

Sara’s work is an exploration of light, colour, and movement inspired by the natural environment.  Although she does work with larger landscape scenes, her focus is generally on close up views and patterns in nature.  Light coming through the leaves of trees, rocks at the water’s edge, and salmon swimming near the river’s surface are each from specific locations, but could also be ubiquitous.  The artist’s intention is to convey both the wonder and meditative experience of nature through brushstroke, colour, and contrast.
