Artist Statement:
My working process involves
moving ideas from one medium
to another. A drawing may
become a print which will
become a sculpture -- then the
sculpture can inspire drawings
which are collaged with
printed backgrounds, which
gives me further ideas for
creating environments composed
of many sculpted objects.
An important aspect of my work
reflects a very direct
connection I feel with
animals. I am inspired by
their emotional transparency
and their fascination with any
new object or situation: our
cat who can be sleeping but
becomes fully alert when
anything new is brought into
the apartment; the squirrel
who comes to our fire escape
every day to taunt our cat;
the tiny sparrow who steals
the large chunk of bread in
mid-air as it's being thrown
to a duck; the dogs that are
so delighted to be out on a
walk. Since the mid-nineties,
I have pursued an ongoing
series of drawings, paintings
and prints of animals.
Some of my newest works are
strappo monotypes. Strappo is
a process which was developed
and taught to me by artist
Harold Garde. The image is
created by painting with
acrylics on glass, then
strengthening the surface
using many layers ...

| Your Personal Biography |
Sarah Hauser was born in San Francisco, and has lived in New York since 1979. She studied drawing at the Art Students League and Spring Studio; sumi-e painting with Sensei Koho Yamamoto at Koho School of Sumi-e; and drawing, painting, printmaking and papermaking at Cooper Union, Manhattan Graphics, the Lower East Side Printshop and Dieu Donne Papermill. Her exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad have included Woodward Gallery (NYC), International Print Center of New York, Barrett House, Noho Gallery (NYC), Pen and Brush Gallery (NYC), Purdue University, Woman Made Gallery, Hiram Blauvelt Museum, Target Gallery at Torpedo Factory Art Center, Washington Printmakers Gallery, Dean Lesher Regional Center for the Arts (California), Nommo Gallery in Kampala, and KIWA Exhibition and Tour in Japan. Her work has been published in CALYX, Simple Printmaking and Japanese Woodblock Printing, and she received the Silver Award in a recent competition held by Dialogue Magazine. She is a resident monthly keyholder at the Lower East Side Printshop in New York City, and a member of Manhattan Graphics. As animals are a subject very close to her heart, Sarah has donated work to such groups as Delta Society, PAWS/LA, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the Primate Conservation and Welfare Society, Tree House Animal Foundation, Texas Snow Monkey Sanctuary and Jane Goodall Institute. She has steadily built a body of work, evolving from drawing and painting to monoprints, linocuts, woodblock prints, etchings and sculpture. She has studied the Japanese method of woodblock printmaking with Jonathan and Miwako Glick, Kathy Caraccio, April Vollmer and Yasu Shibata. She has also studied solarplate etching with Dan Welden. In 2002 she created a limited edition of solarplate etchings for the Gorilla Foundation. Sarah has taught papermaking and other art projects to public school children through Dieu Donne Papermill and Arts Connection, and has demonstrated and assisted teaching Japanese woodblock printing with April Vollmer at the Japan Society and at the annual "Sakura Matsuri," or Cherry Blossom Festival, in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Sarah had a solo exhibition in 2001 at Woman Made Gallery in Chicago. In 2002 she painted a dog for "Art Unleashed", a public art project of 50 fiberglass dogs which were installed in Haverford, PA. She had a solo show in October 2002 at John Jay Gallery in New York City. In 2003 she received the Medal of Honor & Elizabeth Morse Genius Foundation Award for Printmaking at the annual exhibition of the National Association of Women Artists. She is a member of the Metro New York Chapter of the Sumi-e Society of America, with whom she has participated in numerous exhibitions.
Sarah will have a solo show this coming May 2007 at Manhattan Graphics Center.
Sarah is represented by Woodward Gallery in New York City, where, in 2004, she had a solo exhibition of drawings, prints, and sculpture, entitled "Sarah Hauser's Geneticircus". |
