Sarah Tuttle Starts Her Fall 2026 Residency!

Last week local artist, Sarah Tuttle, started her stay as our resident artist for the Fall. She will be in the studio until the end of December creating botanical works that also often include the hands or faces of people near and dear to her interacting with the plant life.

Sarah Tuttle is an artist from Cleveland, Ohio whose work uses elements of nature to depict themes of interconnectedness. Through immersive drawings and paintings, she explores the reciprocal relationship between humans and the natural world. Beginning from direct observation, Sarah's artwork illustrates the inherent and overlooked beauty found in plants, flowers, and creatures. She is drawn to nature’s growth because of the way that plants grow into their most authentic forms with no explanation and no judgement. In that context, she believes the interplay between humans and other natural life is fascinating and grounding, inspiring her to live life simply and authentically. She communicates this idea of authenticity through the unpredictable materiality of ink washes. She uses this fluid process not only to help depict the story, but to allow herself to surrender to the unruly rhythms of nature as the subject. Sarah not only seeks to honor the beauty of nature, but brings attention to the responsibility we have to care for the earth we live on. Outside of making art, Sarah enjoys curating spaces and supporting other artists in their own creative journeys. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2022.

Join us in a warm welcome to her and a fruitful stay in our studios!
