East Tennessee native and mixed media artist Sara Barrett lives blissfully at the foothills of the Smokies with her husband of 11 years, their 10-year-old daughter, and two cats.
A full-time creative thinker, Barrett repurposes used and discarded materials of all types in her artwork. Scrap paper usually hogs the spotlight.
Although she admires most all art forms, she is deeply inspired by music and the talent behind it. Artists including Billie Holiday, U2, Ray LaMontagne, Volbeat and dozens of others can be heard spinning on the turn table in her art room on any given evening.
When not creating, Sara enjoys traveling to obscure locations with her family and documenting the experience with amateur photos. Enjoying chocolate, laughing loud and listening to classic rock are also priorities for her.
Sara’s artwork has been seen locally at The Emporium in Knoxville and The District Gallery in Bearden.
