Artist Information

Sarah Kaufman’s focus is observing how light bounces and fractures through the architecture of a path through a forest. Her landscape paintings are essentially impressionist interpretations of a place, capturing the light as it reflects off planes and surfaces, illuminating colors and building its structure with shadow. She allows the underlying rhythms of color and form to bubble through the landscape and create a new observation and impression of the world. Sarah paints with oil on canvas. Her paintings start with a walk in the woods and her phone camera, and end with working in the studio with her reference photos displayed on a large screen to mimic the feel of being outside, while she plays with color, light and geometric forms to create a prismatic view of the landscape.

Sarah has been painting for over 30 years. She holds a BFA in painting and has work in collections throughout the world.
