My name is Sarah Oremus and I’m a multimedia artist with a passion for combining traditional and digital techniques. Traditionally I love to create works made with watercolor, charcoal, etchings, graphite and gouache.
I studied and received two BS Degrees (Business Administration, Studio Arts- Concentration in Printmaking) at Roberts Wesleyan University, graduating in May 2019. Professionally I have worked in a variety of industries; from customer service, information technology, data and healthcare in supervisory, analyst and front line roles for 10+ years. On the side I have assisted small companies/startups with marketing plans, social media plans, product photography, SEO keywording, website and content moderation.
I have a passion for creating, and it takes the form in everything I do. Whether it’s food, carving a success path for others or artwork, the joy is in the process and seeing other’s faces light up in delight. A part of this process is learning, because there is always something new to learn. I love documentaries, animals, the natural world and playing with concepts that are supernatural or surrealist. I enjoy playing with forms, textures, colors and contrast. My dream is to create art and content that can be enjoyed by others!

Tools of the Trade
