Mark-making and color drive my painting practice. I build a palette with the colors that are infused into my everyday life and let instinct guide the movement of the stroke. I develop the formal qualities of each painting in tandem with an aspiration to create space for an appreciation of the simple and beautiful. For me, abstraction recalls the feeling of a place, object or experience with more accuracy than an effort to capture reality in two dimensions.
Sara Katz was born in South Jersey in 1977 and subsequently grew up in Cabot, Vermont on a vegetable farm/greenhouse and nursery. She received her undergraduate degree from Skidmore College and she spent a semester in Paris, where she began a focus in painting. She and her two younger brothers grew up working at the family business attending the smallest public school in the state. She has worked for Burlington City Arts, a municipal arts organization in Burlington, Vermont since 1999, and currently serves as the Assistant Director. Her work is influenced by her agricultural background, Japanese heritage and interest in the natural world.
