I grew up on the green hills of Southeastern Pennsylvania. My earliest memories are of playing in the sun with my siblings - chasing each other through labyrinths of trees. We regularly attended the Brandywine River Museum, "home of the Wyeths" and I lived among realistic depictions of my county by an American great, Andrew Wyeth. The beauty of Chester County, Pennsylvania continues to inspire my focus on depicting "place." Currently, I make art among the beauty of Old Lutherville and I also teach art to young children in Baltimore City Public Schools.
Sara Maddox is a Maryland-based artist who works in oil, charcoal, and pencil. She is a graduate of the Compass Atelier Master Artist Program. Much of Sara’s painting involves working from images from media, as well as the “real” world, to capture on canvas moments that are severed from the usual or expected context of movement, action, and/or narrative and reframe the images isolated in time. She also enjoys painting portraits, pets, and landscapes.
