Drawing and Painting
“I work through the careful consideration of images as reference to create paintings that represent figures and objects signaling a longing for a sense of home, love, and belonging.”

Sarah Young studied at OCAD University in the Drawing and Painting program with a minor in Art History. Born and based in Toronto, she makes paintings primarily in oil and is interested in exploring family history, memory, and the culture of mass media with recontextualized imagery. Creating sensitive aesthetic experiences through painting, Sarah works with a wide range of visual language and draws inspiration from lived experiences and urban culture. Following graduation, Sarah is attending NSCAD University to obtain her MFA in Studio Art.
