Sarah Marshall Elliott

From an early age, I was likely described as a creative, sensitive, competitive and ‘all-in’ kind of kid. Whether academically, athletically, or socially, I was determined to succeed regardless of the endeavor. I enjoyed a career in marketing and publishing but feeling adrift when I retired from the corporate world, I enrolled in painting classes. I quickly learned that “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time” as said by Thomas Merton. I found so much more than I had lost. Over the past year. I have embraced my new love and find that my brushstrokes are more deliberate, yet loose. Bringing unexpected color to life is great fun. I bring my whole self to the easel and hope my energy and emotion comes through to those who admire my work.
