Hi, I’m Sarah Ann
I was named after both of my grandmothers, so I have a double name. My pronouns are she/her. Storytelling is the thread that ties my work together. From book arts, to design research, to photography, I practice an interdisciplinary approach. After a career documenting others’ stories for newspapers, I have recently turned to telling my own family’s tales. ✨
