Sarah Norman

Sarah Norman is a visual artist and painter who earned her Master of Fine Arts from American University in Washington, D.C. Her practice is defined by a rigorous exploration of tension, specifically the friction between human-made structures and the organic world. By integrating mixed media such as spandex fabric and found objects into her canvases, she creates a tactile dialogue between the built environment and natural fluidity. Norman’s work is deeply informed by external disciplines, including urban infrastructure, poetry, and music. She often translates specific lyrical or literary references into visual compositions, such as her pieces inspired by the Talking Heads. Her work has been showcased in notable settings, including the Fowler-Kellogg Art Center at the Chautauqua Institution.
