Sunshine Pinwheels Journal

Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Sarah Helen More was raised in Portland, Oregon and Houston, Texas.  She grew up surrounded by her mother’s handmade quilts and her father’s large collection of rocks and minerals, both facets of her upbringing that have greatly influenced her work.  She holds an MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in textile design from the Rhode Island School of Design. 

Sarah has worked as a studio assistant to Takashi Murakami, has taught art history at the college level, and spent many years working in manufacturing and factory production management. She recently completed a large-scale mural in conjunction with the Meta Open Arts program in Bellevue, Washington, and currently lives and works in Seattle.
