I am an American, multi-media artist with 20+ years of background in ballet, theatre, music, and design. I bring together mixed media to express abstract reflections in paintings and photography.

I picked up watercolors for the first time in 2019 while rehabilitating a traumatic brain injury. Days later I began to dream in vivid paints and brush strokes. I found the meditative embrace of imperfection bleeding onto the page to be healing in a way that became a life practice.

The Serenity I Seek | August 2022

My paintings are an expression of life experiences, emotion, and beauty through an abstract lens. I enjoy experimenting with archival ink, watercolor, colored pencils, gold leaf, embroidery, molding paste and other mixed media on paper to create minimal, livable works.

Marcus Metal Commission | November 2021

“The swift and optimistic lines, the courage, the joie de vivre, a restrained and thoughtful composition, the play with the white of the paper, the echo of Japanese painting, the clever use of transparency: fascinating work on paper.”

Víctor López-Rúa, Artist
“Sarah Cargill’s art is immediately soothing and captivating. The juxtaposition of raw, dark watercolor against vibrant gold lead highlights builds a masterfully stunning contrast. The subtle and delicate embroidery makes for a warm, bespoke, and irreplicable beauty that completes each piece elegantly.”

Nathalie, Art Curator at The Float Shoppe
“For my husband’s 30th birthday, I commissioned custom art from Sarah Cargill and I could not be more impressed. She took a genuine interest in trying to understand me, my husband, my vision, the space, etc. She ushered me through each step of a process about which I knew nothing! Frequent check-ins ensured the final product was beyond my expectations, and she took things a step further to help with hardware, instructions, and wrapping which not only created an amazing end product, but also an amazing experience. If you’re looking for someone who will bring your vision into reality (but better), Sarah is your person.”
