Sarah F. Peterson
Sarah was a studio potter for 19 years and is well known for her signature trout majolica ceramics. However, her true love has always been watercolors, spending summers in Aspen at the Anderson Ranch under the tutelage of her mentor, Anstis B. Lundy. She has exhibited both her ceramics and watercolors in numerous shows in Boulder, Denver, Aspen, Ketchum, New York, Key West, and San Francisco. She now lives on a small farm in Hygiene, Colorado, with her husband, two dogs, and her flower gardens.
Current Works
Watercolors
Check out Sarah’s past and present paintings utilizing wet-on-wet technique with her natural subjects.
Pressed
Using flowers collected in her own garden (and likely other people’s garden), Sarah’s evolving relationship with flowers led to another iteration of her work.
Books
Sarah’s latest venture is in children’s-but- really-for-adult books featuring the natural world represented in watercolor.
I look to the exquisiteness of peonies and magnolias and the rugged bravery of hollyhocks for confirmation that the Earth is still finding it in its heart to push up these miracles.
