Based on the Oregon Coast, Sarah Polenick creates art deeply informed by her surroundings and global travels. Her versatile practice spans fine art studio pieces, en plein air paintings, and massive public installations.

 

Over the past five years, Sarah has completed more than 100 large-scale murals across the Southwest, with a significant concentration in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Now returned to the Pacific Northwest, she balances an active national mural practice with a dedicated focus on fine art oil painting. Her vibrant works are held in private collections, luxury vacation rentals, and prominent commercial spaces nationwide.

 

Sarah believes art is about more than just the image— it's about purpose, intention. Whether telling a story, sparking a conversation, or simply offering a necessary moment of pause amidst the chaotic or mundane, her work aspires to resonate deeply within the viewer. She loves painting beautiful art, but her true drive is creating beautiful pieces that do more than sit still and look pretty.

 

Sarah is a proud member of the Oil Painters of America (OPA), the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA), and the International Association of Art (IAA-AIAP).
