stuff about saz

bio

Sarah Zimmerman (affectionately known by many as saz) has been painting her entire life. Her playful approach to painting the environment around her is a tantalizing interpretation of her surroundings. Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, the urban arena has long played an important role in her life. But since moving to Terrace, BC in 2000, the incredible bounty of the northwest has become a constant source of inspiration for Sarah. From rooster portraits to vibrant snails, her pieces are fun, vibrant acrylic messes that are also a nod to her surroundings. Her work is a whimsical exploration of her environment and sense of place. An old-school word nerd and writer, Sarah sneaks words and phrases into each of her paintings, giving them another layer of meaning - and making opening nights a lot like a game of Where's Waldo as gallery-goers try to find the words and phrases hidden in her pieces.

Sarah is currently working on a two-year journey called the fish project - a multimedia project that is a nod to the fish that enter the Skeena watershed every year. the fish project will open at the Terrace Art Gallery in December 2018.
