"Figure Study," Sarah Lorentz

Sarah Lorentz's work can currently be found in the Sheldon Art Galleries in the "Landscape" exhibit. 
Oil on canvas, 20" x 16", matted 

 

Many of Lorentz’s works are created “en plein air” (outdoors, on location, from direct observation), a process that appeals to her for being both an intimate and accessible art form. She uses color to record temperature and her paintings are full of life and energy with bold brush strokes and strong color palettes.  

 

Sarah’s academic training has been traditional with apprenticeships and extended studies in Europe. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus in studio painting from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, and now has an active presence in the art scene of St. Louis where she lives and works.
