Sarah Steedman is an artist living and working in Portland ME. Like her grandmother and mother, she is always making something creative with her hands. She has a BA in studio arts and has had rewarding jobs in organic gardening and in early childhood education. which have informed her artwork. Three years ago she decided to become a full time artist.
My paintings are motivated by what I see around me; plants and flowers, homemade food, animals, local landscapes, handmade things like embroidered fabrics, knit sweaters, hand woven textiles, ceramic bowls, vases overflowing with color and nature, wooden plates and utensils. I love folk art, outsider art and identify with artists with a compulsion for self expression. I am also inspired by the historically woman’s work of raising children and keeping a nourishing home through love, food, warmth, color and light. There are gifts like a bouquet of home grown summer flowers, a pair of hand knit mittens, or a delicious meal that reveal the love, thought and energy went into making someone else feel honored with simple things. That feeling is what I strive to capture in my paintings.
