After making art in my beautiful studio in Florence for over a month, I am happy to share with you what I am currently working on. You will see prints and books, some of them complete and others in process. I have been very inspired by my surroundings, the arches and domes on the buildings (thank you Brunelleschi) and the weathered surfaces and colors of stone and wood. I have walked everywhere and I am visiting museums and churches. My approach has been abstract, but to me I am capturing a sense of place and time.
I was fortunate to have my husband photographer here last week to document me in the studio. He got some dynamic shots. Thanks Neil!
I will continue to show you the progression of my work.
I was in Italy (solo) for the month of October, painting, and wish we could have connected! I am also a printmaker and would have enjoyed meeting you and seeing your work in person. Are you an artist in residence at Santa Reparata?

As I watched this series of photographs, I can feel the sense of space and architecture that is around you. The shapes and lines, while abstract as you said, also define the influence of what you are seeing and living. I am very excited by what I see you creating. What a wonderful journey this is for you, and for Alyssa!
Sara,
How wonderful that Alyssa was able to go with you to Italy! I wish I had seen your blog before Ladies Night on Wednesday, Dec. 17th so we could have spoken about your fabulous experience. Thank you for sharing and I can’t wait to hear all about it – maybe Planet Waves will have a new inside decor????? Love, Jeannie
Hi Sara,
WOW! What fantastic artistic adventures you are having! I loved reading about it and viewing your pictures. I know it has been a goal of yours to share art and travel with your daughter. As I know, there is nothing better! I am so happy for you and look forward to hearing & seeing more.
Happy Travels!
