Sara K Dunn

She/Her

 

Born in North America, raised in Stuttgart, Germany.

​

Currently based on Wampanoag and Narragansett land in Providence, RI.

​

Sara K Dunn is a queer white feminine illustrator and printmaker who has been continuously inspired by the curious nature and timeless architecture around her. She has created a world of her own while still considering the contemporary world around her, and others who reside in it.

​

Sara dabbles in many different mediums, ranging from detailed pen work to strange compiled sculptures. She likes to consider the relationship between objects and the spaces around them, constantly trying to find new ways of conveying this concept. She is open to doing works that reach different age groups; from ones geared towards children to more sophisticated concepts. 

​

If she's not holed up in her little apartment, creating, you can find her in gardens around Rhode Island, communing with the plants. Another potential location will be the local flea market, thrift store, or vintage shop.
