Sarah Stockstill

Sarah Stockstill was the first baby born in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1972.

Her earliest art influence was a Modigliani print and her room was decorated with fashion ads and art prints of Picasso and Van Gogh. In her own words… “I am profoundly interested in the spaces between things…the light next to the spotlight just before the dark and the vastness of the seam where the sky meets the ocean. Growing up in the flatness of the desert, I became a sensitive observer of these less obvious beauties and find solace in discovering, exploring and ultimately celebrating them through painting. Sarah enjoys the serendipitous nature of her work, but “…sometimes I wish I painted cheetahs or something representational. It can be difficult to always create something that’s never existed before.”
