Sara Long was born and raised deep in the Redwood Forest of Northern California. As a child growing up remotely and off grid, she lived a fairly secluded life, both figuratively and literally. She learned to commune with nature, making the birds, ferns, ancient trees and the fog her friends. Those relationships have stayed with her and she finds herself, decades later, creating from those sacred bonds.

Working across mediums, including painting, abstract drawing, and jewelry made from shells gathered from her favorite beaches, Sara approaches art as an act of listening and receiving. As an Animist, she believes all things hold spirit, and that magic lives in the small, quiet moments of connection to the natural world. Her work is an extension of this belief: an offering, an honoring, and an ongoing conversation with the land.

Sara currently lives on the rocky coast of Trinidad, California, where the landscape continues to be her greatest teacher and source of inspiration.
