Bio

Sarah Picard (b. 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores emotional complexity through experimentation with materials and techniques. Her paintings investigate the tension between chaotic and controlled emotion.

Working primarily with oil, acrylic, charcoal, pastel, and fiber, Picard creates layered compositions by building up, removing, and reworking material. She uses brushes alongside sponges, scrapers, and a variety of other tools to create a range of textures and marks. Each piece is developed through a responsive process, where decisions are driven by mood and intuitive movement rather than a fixed plan.

Her practice is grounded in lived experience and is shaped by a deep interest in emotional nuance. Rather than offering a clear narrative subject, her work invites reflection and interpretation, allowing space for the viewer to bring their own meaning to the surface.

Based in New Hampshire, Picard draws inspiration from the natural world, personal memory, and the weight of seasonal life changes. Her work has been included in juried exhibitions and is held in private collections across the United States. In 2025, she launched an online store to offer original paintings and limited-edition prints.
