About
Sarah Corwin has been drawn to making visual art for as long as she can remember. She grew up in the suburbs of Washington, DC and has a BA from Williams College, where she majored in Studio Art. Since 2012 she has lived in Seattle, where the cityscape intercut by water bodies and the doomed plate tectonics have crept into the subject matter of her art. She works in thinly, meticulously applied acrylic paint, sometimes combined with collage, and draws from varied stylistic influences including cubism, traditional Japanese prints, the flowing linework of art nouveau, the architectural distortions of MC Escher, tattoo art, and children’s book illustration. By combining disparate styles and by fracturing and overlapping her imagery, she hopes to create tableaus that are dreamlike, unexpected, complex, and off kilter.
