Sarah Jane Tart is a Christian artist based in Wilmington, NC. Her creative practice is a combination of outdoor explorations, an obsession with color and a joyful spirit.
Drawing inspiration from her coastal surroundings, seashells have become tools in her painting process, while the marsh has become her outdoor studio!
Sarah Jane’s connection to nature started young, running wild and free along the creeks and fields of her childhood home.
Today, she has painted for brands like Magnolia; shown work at Serena & Lily; and has artwork on the set of Amazon's The Summer I Turned Pretty. But most notably, her paintings and prints are in homes like yours across the U.S.!
Artist Statement
“In my art I strip away the distractions of the world to find beauty in a life that’s bigger than us. Each happy squiggle of paint represents the freedom and peace that comes from faith. I invite viewers into my magical world to find their own beauty and love in this life.”
