Sarah Aileen’s work is held in collections across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

In my landscapes, I explore the interplay of light and shadow to capture the contrast between nature’s dramatic presence and its quiet, contemplative moments. Whether working in watercolor or oil, I’m drawn to coastal shorelines, peaceful lakes, expansive skies, and mountains—places that showcase the majesty of nature. I distill each scene to its essence, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the duality of the natural world: its ability to be both powerful and serene, vast yet inviting, ever-changing and somehow timeless.

Favorite Hobby | Convincing everyone she meets that she hasn’t been fed in ages. The result has been an untold number of treats from sympathetic humans; notably: several ounces of sliced turkey from a bodega, countless freeze-dried liver treats, and a Milk-Bone intended for a dog four times her size.
