Sarah Lorentz

My painting "Burning Brighter" is included in the exhibit, Resilience, opening tonight at the Cecile R. Hunt gallery at Webster University . I won't be able to attend the opening, so tag me in a post if you go!

Last week, I had the absolute joy of painting for the Hat Luncheon and painted this collection of fabulous ladies and their fabulous hats! My original painting "Ruby Hats" was auctioned off - limited edition prints are available in my shop, linked in my bio!

What an honor; thank you Webster Arts for a fantastic weekend!

Award of Excellence Winner!

Congratulations to Sarah Lorentz in Booth 409! Makes ure you stop by and say hello today!

Wow, thank you Art Fair! Absolutely blown away to have been recognized here at one of my favorite shows 🧡🩷

It's another beautiful day for the Art Fair! We're here until 9pm tonight; find me in booth 409 right across from the Webster Arts Merchandise in the middle of the fair!

Find me this weekend at the Art Fair, booth 409! I'm excited to share that I'll have many of my Great Rivers Greenway Series with me for the first time, as well as the final few prints in some of my most popular print editions!

Every time I update my website, I love it even more. My portfolio website houses an archive of my best paintings in every series, my artist statements, grant-funded project stories, and a new front page feature with all my upcoming events ( Art Fair is next week)! I've added two new series: "Shared Spaces - Great Rivers Greenway Series" and "Behind the Scenes Series."

Last month, I was asked to create a special portrait for the project. This is such a powerful, heartbreaking project, as is Mielle's story:

Mielle was an outspoken advocate for gun violence prevention as exemplified in advocacy work with Survivor Smiles, Students Demand Action and her Speech at the 10th Annual Sandy Hook Vigil with President Biden, Leader Pelosi and many members of the Congress and Senate present. She told the entire world that it is time to start “ADULTING” and end gun violence. Mielle was bold, brilliant, bright and beautiful. She was shot at a birthday party July 26, 2025 and declared dead on July 31, 2025. K. Mielle was 17.

Please continue to advocate for gun reform and an end to gun violence.

"Because of the River" painted from the Chain of Rocks Bridge looking down to the wetlands along the Illinois side of the Mississippi. This area was teeming with wildlife: I lost count of the ducks, geese, and turtles.
Last week, I led the first of two art sessions for my Greenway project. This time, we were at Cliff Cave Park, next time we'll be at Chain of Rocks. I'm so thankful for the awe-inspiring nature areas we have and for the ripple effects it creates for inspiration, connection, and opportunities!
