About

---

Sara Tibbetts earned her Bachelor of Science in Art from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1999. Her painting practice spans still life, landscapes, interior spaces, and figurative scenes, all unified by a quiet sensitivity to the nuances of everyday moments. Through deliberate, expressive brushwork, she draws attention to subtle details that might otherwise be overlooked. Her eye for precision is shaped not only by her studio work but also by creative pursuits such as building and maintaining dollhouses and studying intricate reference photographs. These activities sharpen her focus and deepen her appreciation for fine‑grained visual detail. Sara’s process begins with selecting subjects that resonate with her personally. She then embraces the challenge of translating them into paint, using each piece as an opportunity to refine her perception and strengthen her connection to the imagery she creates.
