Sarah Zamora

As a free spirited, self-taught artist, Sarah Zamora spent years exploring her passion for painting, creating custom art and murals, and teaching art to others.
She began showing work at local exhibitions and galleries casually in 2008, but emerged onto the Dallas-Fort Worth art scene in 2010, participating in 25 group exhibitions ranging from gallery shows, indie craft fairs, charity benefits, and public art grants. The vibrant, bold style of her mixed media artwork leaves an impression.  
Like many artists, Sarah has had a passion for the arts from a very young age. Her early years focused on creative performance in theater and music, but an obsession for painting was fueled in 2003, and she has not put down a paintbrushsince.  
Sarah’s mixed media artwork draws from a sense of imagination and exploration found within herself, and her work has sprung from the process of discovery.
She is a Christian, a dedicated wife and passionate mother residing in N. Fort Worth, Texas.  You will find her work in various galleries, exclusive boutiques, art festivals and handmade indie art shows throughout the metroplex and beyond.
As a self-taught artist Sarah relies on instincts, emotions, and whims to guide her work, and therefore her inspiration is a combination of an active imagination, zany personality, and a bit of manic energy.  
The curiosity of new processes through personal experimentation is a driving factor in her work; She constantly plays with a variety of both media and subjects, discovering new techniques and figuring things out along the way.
While she does paint some pieces in a more straightforward method using only acrylics, she has created a unique method for mixed media that defines her style.
Sarah’s current work is in this combination of acrylics, various inks, mica pigments, watercolors, spray paint, found papers and objects, and upcycled ephemera.
Each piece uses layers of textures and paints to highlight or disguise text, common images and items, creating a sense of discovery for the viewer. She wants the intrigue of her work to last beyond the initial impression, for those engaged with the piece to see more and more hidden within the piece they closer they get to it.
The tone of her work has been described as positive, universal, contemporary, thoughtful, funky, edgy, colorful, and sometimes whimsical.
The body of her work at this time is split between various themes and color stories, representing multiple sides of her life: civilized, muted suburbia, bold, vibrant urban stylized pieces, as well as art that deals with the raw emotions of life, including her diagnosis of bi-polar.
