My work overall reflects the human experience through observation, color, and shape/form. More specifically, my work at the moment is how clutter or messes could be considered autobiographical and personal. I find that it can tell a lot about a person through what people choose to keep by them, what items they use most often, and how they tend to organize their things. Additionally, in quarantine, clutters can take on new forms. They can either grow or shrink depending on the person. We are all home for most of the day which is a huge change and in turn, can also change how a space functions.

Sarah Rowley was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1999. At the age of 5, she moved with her family to Beijing and resided there for 10 years. Then she moved back to Pittsburgh. In her childhood, she often moved and lived in different places which has played a large role in her work today. Her work is about sharing personal experiences in spaces. Through composition and color, she conveys what she sees while also guiding the viewer through the painted spaces.
