Mark your calendar for 10 a.m. Saturday, March 23 when Glass Alliance Presents…glass artist Sarah Vaughn.

Sarah's work is compelling, engaging, thoughtful, evocative, and emotional. "My work focuses on responses to experiences throughout life," says Sarah. "I consider each piece an abstracted self-portrait, capturing thoughts, anxieties, memories, and hopes. The emotional response elicited from the viewer is meant to allow pause, reflecting on one's own history, finding common ground within the emotions we have all experienced throughout life regardless of the narratives that lead us there."

Sarah Vaughn grew up in Southern Illinois, discovering glass while pursuing a BFA at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Her thesis work was honored as the sole winner of the Rickert-Ziebold Trust Award, a prestigious competition for graduating seniors in art and design. Her work has been exhibited and collected internationally, receiving numerous accolades. She has been a resident artist at the University of Oregon, The WORKS Museum in Ohio, and was the first MFA Traveling Assistant Resident at the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio. She was invited to participate in the inaugural residency program at Glass Wheel Studios in Norfolk, Virginia, where she created work for two years. 

After receiving her MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2014, she was awarded a research and creativity grant and invited to exhibit at SOFA Chicago. In the fall of 2022, Sarah moved to Penland School of Crafts (North Carolina) to be an artist in residence.

Sarah's presentation will be at Globe Fine Art, on Canyon Road in Santa Fe. If you're interested in attending, please click here to let us know.
