Sara K Dunn

she/her

I’m a multimedia artist, budding mycologist, and informal historical researcher.  
My art practice is filtered through the lens of my Queer, Neurodivergent, and Ecofeminist identities. The natural world has been my primary muse, and in more recent years, I have looked to both human and more-than-human inhabitants to learn from and depict their experiences to draw parallels between them all.

My aim with my art practice is to wonder at how interconnected everything on this earth is, and how human connections and communal care echo these natural structures. To be aware of the current events that grip our reality is essential, and to ignore them does a disservice to us all. In this vein, I gather inspiration from both the world around me and deep within myself, then distill my perceptions into my artworks through a myriad of mediums.

My visual language is varied in method and materials but has a connecting thread through color and detail. I specialize in illustration, printmaking, painting, and design with more recent explorations in sculpture, installation art, and performance. I pull inspiration from historical artistic practices and subject matters and apply them to contemporary subjects and concepts. Both antiquated and of this time, my work blends time periods, and ways of living.
