Episode 049: Sara Sjol

Sara Sjol (b. Omaha, NE) takes her love of line and color and weaves them together in a vibrant and visual manner that carries through her paper and mixed-media works. In her early years, Sjol’s creativity focused mainly on graphic design and photography. It wasn’t until 2010, when she developed a chronic illness that her visual art began pouring out. Since then, Sjol has created an engaging series of works in which she expresses herself and the world around her. Sjol’s work is held in collections across the country and has been featured on magazine covers and at Portland International Airport. She is represented by the Rental Sales Gallery at the Portland Art Museum. www.sarasjol.com @sarasjol_artist https://www.pdxstreetart.org  @portlandstreetartalliance   All episodes of The Strand are available at www.kevinwillpaint.com/strand and on all major podcast platforms.
